Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. (Ogletree Deakins), one of the largest labor and employment law firms representing management, has formed an Ebola Rapid Response Team. The team’s primary focus is to assist employers with the employment law, traditional labor, and workplace safety issues related to the Ebola crisis. More specifically, the Ebola Rapid Response Team counsels employers on myriad legal obligations related to the Ebola crisis, including those involving Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) compliance, and assists with developing policies and written communications to employees regarding Ebola risks. 
 
Ruthie Goodboe, a shareholder in Ogletree Deakins’ Detroit office, serves as a member of Ogletree Deakins’ Ebola Rapid Response Team. The team is comprised of six lawyers from a number of the firm’s offices and practice groups, including Employment Law, Workplace Safety and Health, and Traditional Labor Relations. In her role, Goodboe counsels employers on the traditional labor issues related to the Ebola crisis, such as dealing with protected concerted activity under the NLRA, collective bargaining obligations, and managing the employee relations aspects.
