BREAKING NEWS: Persuader Rules Permanently Blocked by Texas Judge
The Persuader rules would have required employers, and their attorneys
and consultants, to file with DOL, for public disclosure, all agreements and
all payments to attorneys and consultants for providing advice and assistance
for the purpose of maintaining nonunion status. The new Rule would have reversed 57 years of law that law firm and consultant
assistance to employers on how lawfully to maintain nonunion status was exempt
from such reporting under the “legal advice” exception of the Labor Management
Reporting & Disclosure Act of 1959.
