WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS
THE FUTURE OF THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT
While EFCA is presumed to be defeated for now, there are still prospects for revival in 2007-08, and EFCA is almost certain to become an issue in the next Congressional elections.
OTHER PENDING FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATION REGARDING LABOR-MANAGEMENT RELATIONS
EFCA is not the only thing on labor's legislative agenda. From the RESPECT Act and the confirmation of NLRB appointees in Congress to efforts in state legislatures to limit opposition to organizing, union lobbyists will remain on the offensive.
WHAT UNIONS WANT FROM THE NEXT PRESIDENT
Labor has made it clear that it expects the next President to support its agenda. This is likely to include not only support for pro-union legislation, but also extensive federal regulatory changes.
THE FUTURE OF THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
Two of President Bush's appointees to the NLRB are nearing the end of their terms. With a number of controversial issues still pending, shifts in the Board's composition could have a dramatic impact on labor-management relations.
OTHER PENDING FEDERAL LEGISLATION AFFECTING EMPLOYERS
The Democratic Congress continues to consider such issues as genetic-information discrimination, expanded FMLA leave, paycheck discrimination, ADA reform, and other measures.
