On March 23, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released its
long-anticipated final rule that will drastically redefine "persuader"
activity under Section 203 of the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act. The final rule will greatly limit the ability of
employers, particularly small businesses, to obtain advice from labor
relations experts, and in turn deprive employees of their right to
obtain balanced information about union representation.
The final "persuader" rule is scheduled to take effect on April 25, 2016
and applies to arrangements, agreements and payments made on or after
July 1, 2016. It is likely to be challenged in Congress and the courts. Click here to register!

It seems every major daily newspaper in Texas is reporting on the many job cuts in our state's oil and gas industry. AGC of America just released "Ready to Hire Again: The 2015 Construction Hiring and Business Outlook." In summary, the 10-page report describes the growing shortage of qualified workers-especially craft workers. That's one of the reasons an industry coalition developed a new statewide workforce development website, www.texasconstructioncareers.com. It is designed to connect laid off workers to meaningful, well-paying jobs in the construction industry. Employers can post positions, check out industry job fairs, and take inventory of all the craft providers in Texas. To learn more about the program and website, click here.
