Believe it or not, Sunday is the three year anniversary of the Ohio Employer’s Law Blog. Need proof? Here’s a link to my very first post, May 9, 2007: The Song Remains the Same – Has Burlington Northern Really Changed the Landscape of Retaliation Claims? I’ve since written 867 posts, a number that is hard even for me to comprehend. Maybe at the five year milepost I’ll compile my best posts into a book for those that have been with me from the beginning.
In the meantime, here’s post number 868—what I’ve been reading across the blogosphere this week.
