Kilpatrick Stockton's Susan Pangborn is quoted in the August 2008 issue of the NACS - Association for Convenience and Petroleum Retailing magazine (subscription), commenting on various upcoming developments in employment law.  "What the New Laws Mean For You," outlines several recent legislative developments and court rulings, including: FMLA Expansion, state laws regarding lactation accommodations for working mothers, regulation of guns in the workplace, the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, Section 1981retaliation, and the ADA Restoration Act.

Kilpatrick Stockton's Chuck Rice also has a piece in today's Employment Law 360 regarding the Second Circuit's recent Salmon Run Shopping Center decision.  Salmon Run narrowed the scope of "discrimination" actionable under the NLRA in cases where employers seek to bar non-employee solicitors from its property:
