Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in Uncategorized | No Comments

Petrie & Stocking’s  Labor and Employment team, comprised of Attorneys Roger Pettit, Dave McClurg and Lindsey King, have unveiled a new labor and employment law blog titled “Talking Workplace Law.”  The blog went live on August 28, 2011.

The goal of the blog is to provide cutting edge perspectives on management issues and litigation risks for Human Resource professionals and business owners and others in the Labor and Employment industry.

The blog already contains several interesting posts on issues such how Wisconsin’s new carry concealed weapons law will affect employers, terminating employees based on comments on their Facebook pages, and confidentiality agreements (and Tiger’s mistress).

I hope that everyone will check it out and consider subscribing to its free email notification service.

In response to the unprecedented spike in the resurgence of of bed bugs in the past year, Wil-Kil Pest Control is offerring a Bed Bug Boot Camp.  From pest identification to the legal ramifications of bed bugs, both sessions offer property owners and managers the tools they need to effectively respond to the threat of bed bugs and includes a Bed Bug Canine Scent Detection Demonstration.

Click here to see the Bed Bug Boot Camp flyer.

The Milwaukee seminar will take place on June 28th, 2011 from 1 pm – 4:30 pm at the Radisson Hotel Milwaukee West at 2303 N. Mayfair Road in Milwaukee.

I will be speaking at the Milwaukee session on the legal ramifications of bed bugs nto landlords and property managers.  Specifically, I will discuss the requirement that landlords provide tenants with a habitable rental property, local ordinances regarding extermination issues, and how a landlord and/or property manager can best prepare themselves to deal with any legal issues that may arise from a bed bug infestation.

There is no cost to attend the seminar.  You must however, preregister for the seminar by going to Wil-Kil’s website.

There will also be a Bed Bug Boot Camp in the Madison area on June 30, 2001 from 1 pm – 4:30 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn Madison (West) at 1801 Deming Way in Middleton.  Atty. Jay Koritzinsky will be speaking on the legal aspects of bed bugs at this session.

This will be a very timely and informative seminar that will be well worth your time.  Hope to see you all there.
