Spring Conference
And then everything changed...
April 2–4 | Nittany Lion Inn, State College
www.prla.org/springmeetingLearn more about the Restaurant Law
Center and the cases it is currently
handling at
www.restaurantlawcenter.org.
Stieber, executive vice president and general counsel for
Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises Inc. and an NRA board
member, said the RLC would give the industry an opportunity
to not only fight back against unwarranted attacks, but also
work through the courts to promote pro-growth laws and
regulations that would create jobs and grow the economy.
One of the first cases the center is managing is
Oregon
Restaurant and Lodging et al. v. Perez, et al.
The case
challenges the U.S. Department of Labor’s determination
that bars restaurants that do not take a tip credit from
setting up tip pools where front-of-the-house staff share tips
with back-of-the-house staff. Amador, who serves as the
RLC’s executive director, will file a Petition of Certiorari with
the U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 19. The case was recently
rated one of the top five employment cases to watch in 2017
by Law360.
