REVIEWING THE PAST FOUR YEARS AND CONTEMPLATING THE NEXT FOUR |
- What have been the most significant developments at the NLRB and at the DOL on the practice of labor and employment law and on the workplace?
- Were there any developments that were anticipated as having a major impact on cases at the NLRB or under the DOL regulatory statutes that did not have such an impact?
- What courses should the NLRB and the DOL embark upon if President Obama is reelected?
- What change in policy and the law at the NLRB and the DOL should be anticipated if Mitt Romney is elected President?
- To what extent would the implementation of such changes depend upon the composition of the House and the Senate?
- What, if any, is the carryover effect of Wisconsin?
