AgWorks: Employer Property and Privacy Rights for Employees-Learn about ag-gag laws and legal protections for agricultural operations, with opportunities to discuss real-world scenarios with attorneys.

Across the country, several states have enacted laws designed to protect agricultural employers from job applicants who misrepresent their background to gain access to agricultural facilities and employees, as well as from employees who secretly record and release videos of a facility with the intent to harm the agricultural enterprise. While Pennsylvania has not currently enacted such a law, this webinar will provide an overview of various enacted so-called "ag-gag" state legislation and how these laws work to protect agricultural operations. Additionally, the webinar will address how agricultural enterprises can benefit from trade secret protection and the use of non-compete agreements. Time will be held after the presentation for participants to ask legal questions and discuss real-world scenarios with attorneys. The Center for Agricultural and Shale Law provides educational support and resources only and does not offer legal representation.
