United States: What's Next For The National Labor Relations Board And Employers? - Foley & Lardner
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals recently invalidated President Obama’s purported recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board made in January 2012, rendering the Board without a quorum and potentially unable to conduct much of its normal business.

Friday’s Jobs Numbers May Be Drowned Out by Hurricane Sandy
When the Labor Department releases it’s November job growth estimates tomorrow, many are bracing for it to be the smallest number since June. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney predict the number will come in at a lackluster 77,000 jobs, well below the average of 173,000 we’ve seen over the past four months. But for better or worse, the reason for the drop off will not be the fiscal cliff wrangling in Washington or fears that austerity may bring on another recession, but the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy. So how is it that a more-than-month-old storm could affect tomorrow’s jobs report? The Labor Department determines the total number of jobs added each month by surveying employers, and asking them how many people it issued a paycheck to in a pay period that includes the 12th day of the month. Back on the 12th of November, many businesses were still dealing with the effects of the storm. Any worker that didn’t receive a paycheck because of the storm would not be counted as employed ...

Latino grocery chain faces immigration audit
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 10:46 Mi Pueblo A Mi Pueblo store in Tracy, Calif. Mi Pueblo was founded by a Mexican immigrant, and hires mostly Latino workers. Now, the Northern California supermarket is under a federal probe to expose undocumented workers. Mi Pueblo, a Latino supermarket chain with humble roots, faces the prospect of a mass layoff, a boycott and a federal investigation -- all because of questions about its employees’ legal status and right to work in the U.S. The Northern California grocery chain imports and produces a full spectrum of foods from Mexico. Its 21 stores, and counting, pop up in urban food deserts that stores like Safeway don’t touch. Mi Pueblo took some heat recently when the company voluntarily joined E-Verify , a federal program that screens job applicants’ immigration status against a federal database. Turns out it wasn’t so voluntary. The company revealed this month that U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, has launched an employee ...

Good news, bad news: Obama and Romney advisers react to jobs report
Friday, October 5, 2012 - 08:33 Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Job seekers wait in line to meet with a recruiter during a HIREvent job fair at the Hotel Whitcomb on July 10, 2012 in San Francisco, California. U.S. employers added 114,000 jobs in September. The Labor Department has also revised up the job gains in July and August. The bigger story this morning is that the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent. That's a genuine surprise to most economists, and it breaks the stubborn "eight percent" barrier that has been such a fixture in the presidential campaign. Often in this sluggish recovery, the unemployment rate will seem to improve for the wrong reason: people quit looking for work. In September, though, people were actually re-entering the labor force, suggesting a genuine improvement in hiring. That much, we can objectively say. Beyond that -- it's in the eye of the beholder Alan Krueger, a Princeton economist and current chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, shares ...

PODCAST: All you can eat and the September jobs sheet
Friday, October 5, 2012 - 11:16 Scott Barbour/Getty Images The Telegraph reports a Mongolian barbeque in Brighton banned two very regular customers for life, calling them "pigs" and accusing them of eating the business into the ground. U.S. employers added 114,000 jobs in September . The unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent, the same place it was when President Obama took office. On both counts, the numbers surpassed economists' expectations. Presidential economic adviser Alan Krueger and Romney adviser Glenn Hubbard share their reactions to this morning's jobs report . Along with September's employment report, the Labor Department also revised up job gains August and July. In August, in particular they now say the economy added 50 percent more jobs than the original estimate. The markets are happy, but there are some sobering details behind the headline jobs numbers. The unemployment rates for blacks, hispanics, and young people were unchanged, while there were job gains in industries ...
