2022 Airline Labor & Employment Law Symposium - "Navigating the Turbulence of the Pandemic and Employees' Sky High Expectations"
Kimpton Born Hotel | Denver, CO
Global travel is still down, masks are on, employees are scarce and labor’s expectations are sky high. How can airlines prepare for the future with so much uncertainty? Given the many variants of COVID, the pandemic continues to place unprecedented challenges on labor and management. Whether it is record-setting sick calls, an inability to staff critical positions, or leverage being wielded by labor, labor relations and human resources management are being tested like never before. From a time of unprecedented profitability and growth in 2019, to a near complete halt in air travel in early 2020, to a moderate uptick in travel demand coupled with a severe shortage of employees in 2021, airline management has had to constantly shift its focus to previously inconceivable challenges.
This year’s Symposium will focus on these important labor and employment issues confronting you and your management team. Working together, we will analyze the impact these issues have on you and your employees and strategize with you over how to best address them and the challenges they present. Our goal is to partner with you to help you manage the multiple challenges ahead.
