More Fire Law Vlog from the FLSA Conference along with Headlines

Posted by: Curt Varone September 17, 2019 0

Here is today’s Fire Law Vlog from the FLSA Conference in Westminster, Colorado. Today’s discussion is on the most common types of FLSA questions that firefighter-attorney and co-instructor Bill Maccarone receives in the course of his daily practice.

Today was a busy day that didn’t allow for a lengthy discussion of the issues. Looking forward to tomorrow when I will interview co-instructor Brian Massatt for his take on the FLSA.

Here is a link to Bill’s blog: FirefighterOvertime.org

Here are today’s Fire Law Headlines:

Ex-fire chief Elizondo’s trial begins today

Former Wausau firefighter found guilty of sexually assaulting female patient in ambulance

Nemaha firefighter pleads not guilty to setting corn crib on fire
