The controversial measure, whicbh would make it easier for workersto unionize, has galvanized opposition from businessz groups. Lawyers representing unions said their clients arealready well-versesd on the topic, but corporate executives are not, so management-sider lawyers are spending time educating clients about the potentia l impact and how to react. The act would granty workers union representation if more than 50 percen t of employees signed cards in Employers would be subject to stiffer penaltiesw if it were founx theyviolated workers’ organizing rights.
“Under the currenty law, if employees decide to unionize, the union and the compang negotiate and those are usually rough becausee the union comes to the tabls having made a promised to members that it will bettertheir lives,” said Steve Wall, lead of the labore and employment practice at . “But the employer has not signefd on for that so those first negotiation sare tough.” Wall said the biggerf concern is mandatory mediation within 90 days aftefr a union is recognized. If there’s no agreement, binding arbitratiojn occurs within 30 daysaftef that.
Bruce Endy, who representd unions in labor negotiations for the firmSpear Wilderman, said opposition to bindingv arbitration means management does not want to leave its fate in the hands of an independenyt third party. Pepper Hamilton labor and employmeng practice leader Jonathan Kane said there are strategicc initiatives that clients need to adopt before the legislation Chief among them is an honestg review of policiesand practices, management training, communications systems and problem-solving procedures conducted by an independenty party that guarantees employee anonymity. He said identifiefd problems must be correctedand audited, and surveys shouldx continue on a regular basis.
Cooperative or collaborative committees or groups comprised of managementg and employees also promote positiveemployee “A well-treated work force is not likely to join a union,” Kane said. “For instance, ther e are communications problems thatyou can’ty solve with a suggestions box. It’s not that managemen t doesn’t ask questions. It’s that they don’t listen to the Management needs to reacb out and solve problems and not wait for it to come to Thomas Bender, managing partner of the Philadelphiaz office of national labor and employmenft law boutique Littler Mendelson, said his firm has been monitoring the situation in Washington for clientss and keeping them informed through blogs and whit e papers.
’s labor-side practice expects to be busy dealing with a massive wave ofunion organizing, which will lead to more negotiations and grievances from newly organized shops. Alaine Williams said, will more than make up for what’a expected to be a drop in hearings and unfaie laborpractice lawsuits. “They’llo want to know what’s the appropriat bargaining unit and who should be inthe unit,” Williamxs said. “There will also be regulatory work forthe NLRB.
” Kane expecte the legislation to be enacted later this year but thinks the card-checjk provision will have been dropped in favor of unionsa gaining access to workplaces and quicker elections five to 10 days after filing a petitiohn with the NLRB. Elections must now be held 45 to 60 days aftee a petitionis filed. “That enables the union to controlo the timing ofthe election,” Kane “Unions usually choose an emotional event to get enough cards for a petition. But such a quicmk election will lead toan ill-informed electorate.

Plan to speed federal spending good kick-start - Business First of Columbus:

Regardless of the the difficulties Americans suffered during such periods have beensimilar — job losses, slow to negativ production growth and consumer wariness. Each recessiob has had its own and myriad actions have been attempted to securs a returnto normalcy. Since World War II, our natiomn has endured around adozen recessions, with an average length of arounxd 14 months. The current recession, which begah in December 2007, has surpassed that time framde by somefour months, and the end is stillo likely a few months away. The economic turmoil in Americsa is impossible to ignore as dailg headlines and newscasts present the dismal picture infull color.
The nation’s econom has shrunk for three consecutive quarters and approximatelgy 5 million jobs have been lost over the past 16 morethan 1.6 million of those since February. That tota number far exceeds the 1.6 million total employmenty drop inthe 1990-1991 recession and the 2.7 million durin g the 2001 recession beforr those economies turned around. Even though job losses have slowed slightlyt inrecent weeks, unemployment levels have stil reached 9.4 percent, the highest level in more than a quartee century. Signs of improvement (or at least declinese at a slower rate indicatingproximate recovery) are now appearinb in a number of statistics.
Moreover, consume r sentiment is on the rise, and most people remain confident that actions being taken to cure our economic ills will eventuallyy reap the desired A recent Gallup Poll noted thatthe “consumee mood” has become more positive since March. The decisioh announced by President Barack Obama this week to deliveerapproximately 600,000 jobs during the summedr will undoubtedly be received as encouraginvg and perhaps further enhance consumers’ optimism.
The President’e pledge to speed up federa l spending for various endeavorss includes monies for maintenance projects atmilitarty bases, as well as stats road and airport improvements, along with the employmen t of around 135,000 school teachers and supporf staff. This decision is expected to kick start the flow of moneu intostate coffers. Since the bette summer weather is normally consideresd optimum for expanding public construction state agencies had alreadhy beensubmitting applications.
With the news that money will now becomee more readily available for funneling to these kinddof endeavors, greater opportunities for slowing the economicc decline have now entered the It will, of course, take time to see what developsw and how these actions will mesh with other evente occurring in the U.S. and the It is always a challenges to implement the proper safeguards for using publi c funds while trying to expedite their but this effort is certainly a step in therightf direction.
