“DOL May Expand Bold Plan For Hospitals After Court Ruling”

Seyfarth Shaw Labor & Employment partner Valerie Hoffman is quoted in an April 4 Law360 article discussing a recent ruling which expanded the Department of Labor’s reach in the treatment of certain hospitals as federal subcontractors for the purposes of affirmative action regulations.

Valerie pointed out that not only hospitals but “also pharmacies, big box stores that have pharmacies in them, anyone that contracts to provide services with an HMO that, in turn, contracts with a federal employee health benefits program,” would be impacted.
