Now that the race for the white house is over, employers must brace themselves for new pro-labor legislation. There are four proposed bills aimed at changing the way American employers do business:

1) The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) - Would eliminate employers' rights to demand secret ballot elections before union certification. It would also substantially increase financial penalties for committing unfair labor practices under the National Labor Relations Act and would require employers to maintain neutrality while unions make their cases.

2) The Re-Empowerment of Skilled and Professional Employees and Construction Tradesworkers Act, or RESPECT Act - Would redefine "supervisor" under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). This bill is important, because any employee deemed a supervisor is not covered under the NLRA and is not allowed to join a union.

3) The Working Families Flexibility Act - Would authorize an employee to request from an employer a change in the terms or conditions of the employee’s employment if the request relates to: (1) the number of hours the employee is required to work; (2) the times when the employee is required to work; or (3) where the employee is required to work. Employers with 15 or more employees would be covered under the bill.

4) The Patriot Employers Act - Would issue a tax credit equal to one percent of taxable income to employers who observe a policy requiring neutrality in union organizing efforts; maintain its headquarters in the United States; pays at least 60 percent of the health care premiums of its employees; maintain or increase the number of its full-time workers in the United States relative to its full-time workers outside of the United States.

Learn how these bills could dramatically change union organizing and impact your operations by participating in the all-new HR Hero audio conference, Unions Rejoice: What New Post-Election Labor Laws Would Mean for Employers.

In just 90 minutes, an employment attorney experienced in labor and employee relations will guide you through the pending legislation that could change the way you do business:

  • An in-depth analysis of the RESPECT Act, which would:
    - Create divided loyalties among front-line supervisors who assign work to employees
    - Fundamentally change the dual functions of the national labor policy
    - Have broad legal consequences under a variety of other labor laws
    - Trigger an explosion of litigation especially in the construction industry
  • How the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) would change union organizing and increase the frequency of corporate campaigns. Your speaker will go beyond the surface of the Act to unveil the proposed legislation for what it could become: a lawyer's retirement program.
  • The dramatic impact the Working Families Flexibility Act:
    - Would give employees greater say and the opportunity to modify their work hours, schedule, or work location
    - Would allow employees a right to a representative of their own choosing at certain meetings
    - Would provide administrative remedies for dissatisfied employees with the potential of civil fines of up to $5,000 per violation
  • How employers could gain a one percent tax break under the proposed Patriot Employers Act
