Conference Also to Offer Sessions on Workplace Harassment, Crossroads of Legal and Recruiting, Other Critical Law Topics
Charlie Cook, one of the nation’s leading authorities on the U.S. elections, will speak at the 2018 American Staffing Association Staffing Law Conference, May 10‒11 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC.
During the special session “Election Forecasts and the Balance of Power,” Cook will use poll numbers, economic indicators, historical data, and humor to examine the 2018 midterm elections. He will also forecast the fortunes of each party in a balanced, nonpartisan manner, and offer strategic insights on what the outcomes could mean for the 2020 presidential election. This session is sponsored by ASA corporate partner Essential StaffCARE.
