Legislative Issues for 2012
With issues like postal reform, health care, taxes and regulatory initiatives on the minds of printers, will Congress let gridlock and election distractions keep it from acting in the year ahead?
For example, Lyons points out that card check legislation, not even on the radar screen of the House, was revived by the NLRB through an "ambush elections" rule it issued. In short, the rule aimed at accelerating union organizing elections. In late November, the House voted 235-188 to pass the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act (H.R. 3094) to counter what it views as a rule promoting employer/employee imbalance.
