10:15am – 12:00pm

 

The workforce of the future will look dramatically different from today. Proactively address legal issues that will arise as these trends begin taking place to avoid costly liability. Begin developing new business programs now that address future organizational shifts that have not yet occurred.

This session will identify the top six areas Human Resources needs to change in order to gain credibility and prevent eroding HR's effectiveness.

Look at contributing in several very different ways so HR is seen as a real asset to their organization.

 NLRB Union Poster Mandate Postponed Again 

April 30, 2012 is the new date when most private sector employers will be required to post a notice advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.

This is the second time the effective date of the notice’s posting has been delayed. Originally, employers were expected to comply with the regulation by Nov. 14, 2011, but that was pushed back to Jan. 31, 2012.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced the latest change--to the April 2012 date--in a statement released on its web site Dec. 23, 2011. The postponement comes at the request of the federal court in Washington, D.C., that was hearing a legal challenge to the NLRB regulation.

The National Association of Manufacturers filed a lawsuit Sept. 8, 2011, in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. against the NLRB. It claimed that the agency overstepped its authority by issuing the regulation, SHRM Online reported in September 2011. The proposed Employee Workplace Freedom Act (H.R. 2833), which would rescind the NLRB rule, was pending in Congress.

Another bill before Congress, the Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act (H.R. 2587), would prohibit the NLRB from ordering any employer to close, relocate or transfer employment under any circumstance.
