John Winer featured in LA Daily Journal’s New Laws 2021 Edition

John Winer was featured in the Los Angeles Daily Journal’s New Laws 2021 edition regarding AB 2143, which aims to bring changes to AB 749, a #MeToo inspired bill that prohibited the use of no-rehire clauses in settlement agreements regarding disputes in which the worker had filed a complaint against the employer. In 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 2143 into law, which amends AB 749 to also allow an exception, permitting a no-rehire provision if the aggrieved party has engaged in criminal conduct. In order for the sexual harassment or sexual assault exception to apply, the employer must have documented the good faith determination of sexual harassment or sexual assault before the aggrieved party filed the claim against the employer.
