What is an employer to do? This session will address the balancing act that employers face in meeting their various legal duties when it comes to discipline\, human rights and workplace safety.\n\n \n\n2:30 3:30 PM\n\n Question Period (if you would prefer\, please forward questions in advance to be asked on your behalf)\n\n \n\n \n\nPRESENTER INFORMATION \n\n \n\nDavid Swayze\, Meighen Haddad LLP\, Brandon\, MB\n\n \n\nDavid Swayze is a life-long resident of Brandon\, a graduate of Brandon University and Dalhousie Law School.
