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.

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 ...

Weekly Wrap: BofA pays and the Labor Dept. delivers
Friday, September 28, 2012 - 14:09 Scott Olson/Getty Images A sign marks the location of the Bank of America Corporate Center, which houses the corporate headquarters for Bank of America in Charlotte, N.C. Today's weekly breakdown of the business world's biggest scoops is between New York bureau chief Heidi Moore and John Carney from CNBC. On Bank of America settling with its stockholders... Heidi Moore: We can't even have nostalgia, it's still all alive for us. This is why we had Occupy Wall Street and all that other stuff. It's nice to have that occassional reminder -- oh yeah, that happened. John Carney: I'm very cynical but I'm happy that Bank of America was forced to pay out this amount of money. This is billions of dollars they were forced to pay out because they were lying during the financial crisis. When everybody was saying, 'Oh, everybody's in a panic because they don't trust the banks' it turns out it was a good idea not to trust the banks because they were lying. On news from ...
