Welcome to the January 2010 issue of SmithAmundsen's Labor & Employment newsletter. Please click here to view the issue.
In this month’s issue we report on NLRB Chairman Liebman’s perspective and agenda. In addition, we review the additional notification requirements on employers as a result of the COBRA subsidy extension. We also discuss the Illinois Department of Labor’s continued pursuit of independent contractors as misclassified employees, and we briefly discuss the fairly recent green roof union jurisdictional dispute. Finally, we provide an update on activity at the NLRB.
