Back in November 2019, which now seems like the very distant past, I was asked to do a short CLE presentation on the “Top Ten Labor Law Decisions” of “The Past Ten Years.” The idea seemed timely, and I agreed. The first half of that list, counting down from Number 10 to Number 6, appeared in these pages in February. This column details the remaining cases on the list, ending, in inverse order, with Number 1.

In compiling my list, I confined myself to Court of Appeals’ decisions. With the further passage of time, some of my selections have passed beyond the 10-year look-back, with the consequence that the list now embodies an 11-year look-back. (2009 was a big year in Labor Law jurisprudence.)
