Mission
FOUNDED IN 1990, THE MINNESOTA EMPLOYMENT LAW COUNCIL (MELC) SERVES MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS BY HELPING THEIR HUMAN RESOURCE PROFESSIONALS AND CORPORATE COUNSEL STAY ABREAST OF AND SHAPE CONSTRUCTIVE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT LAW POLICY DEVELOPMENTS IN MINNESOTA, AS WELL AS BENCHMARK THE BEST PRACTICES OF OTHER MEMBERS RELATIVE TO EMPLOYMENT, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND DIVERSITY OBJECTIVES AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES.MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN TO ANY EMPLOYER THAT EMPLOYS PEOPLE WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF EXISTING MEMBERS. MEMBERSHIP INVOLVES ANNUAL DUES OF $7,000 AND AN INTEREST IN SHARING AND ACCESSING MEMBER IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF MELC'S MISSION. UPON APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE, MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL MELC PROGRAMS, ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ALL INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS AVAILABLE FOR MEMBERSHIP DISTRIBUTION AND FREE TO CONSULT WITH OTHER MEMBERS AND THE MELC GENERAL COUNSEL REGARDING CURRENT LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS AND HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES.
Program accomplishments
- MELC MEMBERS MEET ON AVERAGE 3-4 TIMES PER YEAR TO DISCUSS EXPERIENCES, SOLICIT OTHERS' VIEWPOINTS AND SHARE IDEAS ABOUT THE LATEST EMPLOYMENT REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY AND PRACTICE ISSUES. THESE MEETINGS REVOLVE NOT AROUND TRADITIONAL SEMINAR LECTURES BUT AROUND DISCUSSION BY THE MEMBERS OF ISSUES THEY ARE CURRENTLY FACING OR BACKGROUND THEY FEEL THEY ARE MISSING RELATIVE TO SPECIFIC CHALLENGES. MELC IS DESIGNED AS A VEHICLE THROUGH WHICH MEMBERS CAN ADDRESS THE QUESTION: "WHAT ARE OTHERS DOING ABOUT THIS?" THESE MEETINGS PROVE TO BE A RICH SOURCE OF EXAMPLES, DATA AND IDEAS. IN EACH CASE, THE PROGRAM IS HIGHLY INTERACTIVE AMONG THE MEMBERS AND DEALS MUCH MORE WITH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE THAN LEGAL DISSERTATION.
- IN ADDITION, MELC CLOSELY FOLLOWS DEVELOPMENTS AS THEY EMERGE AND ARE CONSIDERED AT THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, HELPING MEMBERS KEEP THEIR MANAGEMENT CURRENTLY ADVISED ABOUT LEGISLATIVE TRENDS, SENTIMENTS AND PROPOSALS AND DELIVERING TIMELY EXPERT LEGAL TESTIMONY AT SOMETIMES HASTILY SCHEDULED COMMITTEE HEARINGS AS APPROPRIATE. MELC LOBBYISTS MONITOR WORKER RIGHTS, LEAVE, WAGE AND OTHER EMPLOYMENT BILLS AS AND BEFORE THEY EMERGE, GUIDE AND HELP IMPLEMENT MELC'S RESPONSE AND COORDINATE MELC ACTIVITY WITH THOSE OF OTHER EMPLOYER ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL COMPANY LOBBYISTS WHOSE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE MUCH LESS SPECIALIZED. MELC IS CONSISTENTLY CAREFUL TO STRIKE A RESPONSIBLE, CONSTRUCTIVE TONE, EMPHASIZING POTENTIAL UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS.
- FINALLY, ON SELECT OCCASIONS PRESENTING A STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF IMPORTANT POLICY PRECEDENT, MELC PARTICIPATES IN MINNESOTA APPELLATE CASES IN A AMICUS CURIAE ROLE, AGAIN WITH A VIEW TO SHAPING THE LAW BEFORE IT HAS BEEN FINALLY PROMULGATED.
