Obama and the Future of Labor and Employment Law

Obama and the Future of Labor and Employment Law November 13th, 2008 | Paul Secunda With the historic election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States and the substantial gains for Democrats in the House and Senate, there is almost certainty that there will be significant labor and employment law reform in the near future.
