Third Thursday: What Employers Should Know About the NLRB’s New “Quickie Election” Rules

Webinar | 06.25.15, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 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.

On April 14, 2015, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) implemented significant changes to its long-standing union election rules – changes that alter the playing field in representation elections dramatically in favor of unions. Among other things, the new rules speed up the election process significantly and impose new burdens upon employers. By design, the new rules are intended to ensure that employers confronted with a union election will not have sufficient time to educate their employees fully about what union representation really means prior to the time that employees are required to vote. The employer community has now had two months of experience with the new rules.

Our panelists will discuss the new election rules and why the new rules make it much easier for unions to successfully organize the employers they target. Our panel will review the proactive steps employers can and should take to prepare for potential union organizing in the new environment.

This webinar is scheduled for the Fourth Thursday of June, Thursday, June 25 at 12:00 pm Eastern. We hope that you can join us and participate in a lively discussion of these issues.

On-Going Government Audits of Small Business Programs: Why the Federal Government’s Focus on ‘Waste, Fraud, and Abuse’ Impacts Both Large and Small Contractors

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
