The Dog Days Are Over (and the Hirozawa #NLRB Days Too!)
But the full impact of NLRB decisions will live on for years
Last week, I mentioned in the weekly CUE member newsletter that the National Labor Relations Board was expected to drop another bunch of decisions before the end of August, which marks the end of Member Kent Hirozawa’s term on August 27th. While I didn’t need to be Nostradamus to see that coming, it turns out I was right.
Twitter does a great job of keeping track of this kind of stuff, so you can get all caught up by clicking through each of the links below, but before you do that, do me and yourself a favor.

And, if that’s not enought to raise your blood pressure a little, there was gem of a new rule that the Department of Labor released this week. Check out the excitement of the Teamsters at what they view as significant new leverage against employers who are federal contractors.
