Stripping Away Misclassifications: FLSA, Exotic Dancers, and the Legal Fallout
10/18/2024
In this episode of The Lieb Cast, we dive deep into the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and its role in classifying workers as either employees or independent contractors. Using landmark cases like Clincy v. Galardi South Enterprises, Inc., where Atlanta exotic dancers reached a $1.55 million settlement, and a nearly $4.6 million ruling involving Philadelphia’s Penthouse Club, we explore the elements used to determine worker classification. These cases expose how much control an employer must exert over a worker’s conditions for them to be classified as employees—and how clubs, like these, exploited misclassifications to their advantage.
We also tackle the complex topic of sexual harassment in the workplace, triggered by the shocking lawsuit accusing Macy’s of covering up a 2008 sexual assault committed by Sean “Diddy” Combs at their Herald Square store. We’ll discuss the company's duty to report harassment and how vicarious liability comes into play when business relationships take priority over accountability.

Kevin O’Leary vs. Right to Disconnect: What’s Best for America
9/6/2024
Many countries, including the most recent, Australia, are adopting "right to disconnect" laws that protect workers' personal time from being infringed by employers. Should the U.S. follow suit? Kevin O'Leary, known as "Mr. Wonderful," made headlines by opposing these laws, but isn't he so far up the corporate ladder that he doesn’t face the same pressures of having his downtime interrupted? In today's smartphone-driven world, it's crucial to define clear boundaries for when we're off-duty—not just from employers but also from clients, customers, and the public. Humans weren’t designed to work 24/7, and perhaps AI can help us create a society that respects personal time.
