The Employee Free Choice Act, H.R. 1409 and S. 560, was introduced in both the House of Representatives and Senate yesterday, marking a new beginning of a longstanding effort by the labor movement to change the rules of engagement regarding union organizing and collective bargaining. While the EFCA is assured swift passage in the House of Representatives, it remains unclear whether Democrats will be able to muster the 60 votes required to prevent a Republican filibuster.
If you have any questions about the impact of the Employee Free Choice Act on your organization, or want to know what you can do to be ready, please contact any of the professionals listed or your usual Crowell & Moring contact.

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
