"[E]mployees do not need to use 'magic words' or explicitly mention the FMLA to invoke these protections. [A] recent Eleventh Circuit decision ... illustrates this principle: notifying managers of a spouse's high-risk pregnancy and need for care may be enough to trigger an employer's FMLA obligations." [James v. FedEx Freight, Inc., No. 24-12907 (11th Cir. Nov. 7, 2025)]

"The court sided with the pension fund and granted its motion to strike the jury demand. The court reasoned that because the pension fund's veil-piercing and evade-or-avoid theories are methods for enforcing withdrawal liability, and because there is no right to a jury trial in a withdrawal liability action, the trial should proceed as a bench trial." [Board of Trustees of the PAMCAH-UA Local 675 Pension Fund v. SMAC Hawaii, Inc., No. 23-0076 (D. Haw. Sept. 30, 2025)

"What's changing on January 1, 2026? ... Employers with 15 or more employees will be required to provide employees with 72 hours of paid sick leave, earned at a rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked. Employees can roll over unused sick leave, but only for up to 72 hours each year.... Smaller employers -- those with fewer than 15 employees -- will be required to offer at least 48 hours of paid sick leave per year."

"The Third Circuit ... ultimately agreed with the Fund holding that the settlement agreement was a revised withdrawal liability assessment.... [T]he settlement agreement was properly understood under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act (MPPAA) as a revision to the withdrawal liability assessment and because no employer sought arbitration with respect to that revised assessment, the Fund had a cause of action[.]" [Central States, SE & SW Areas Pension Fund v. Laguna Dairy, S. de R.L. de C.V., No. 23-3206 (3d Cir. 2025 Mar. 27, 2025)]

"In a major win for the Steelworkers Pension Trust, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld an award totaling $96 million in withdrawal liability and additional statutory penalties against the Renco Group, Inc.... The key lesson from this case is the importance of multiemployer pension plans thoroughly investigating controlled group liability." [Steelworkers Pension Trust v. The Renco Group, Inc., Nos. 19-3499, 19-3504 and 19-3507 (3d Cir. Aug. 26, 2021)]
