Third Thursday Webinar: What Employers Need to Know Concerning the Obama Administration’s Labor Law Agenda

Webinar | 06.23.16, 10:00 AM EDT - 11:00 AM EDT

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.


There has been a flurry of enforcement activity by the Department of Labor (DOL) and National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in recent months. These agencies have adopted an aggressive pro-union position in several areas of traditional labor law. The government’s agenda requires many employers to reconsider legal and operational strategies in response to organizing and other activity by labor unions. Examples include:


  • The DOL’s controversial new “persuader” rule, imposing new employer reporting obligations;
  • The NLRB’s continuing hostility toward mandatory arbitration of employment disputes;
  • Application of the NLRB’s new joint-employer standard;
  • The NLRB’s “ambush election rules,” which have been effective for one year;
  • The NLRB’s new rule regarding the use of permanent replacement workers; and
  • The NLRB General Counsel’s continued search for test cases to overturn long-standing precedent regarding employer rights in labor disputes.

Our panelists will review these developments and discuss the practical steps affected employers can adopt in response to the Administration’s regulatory agenda.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
