The Obama administration is widely expected to push for legislative as well as regulatory changes in the areas of wages, civil rights, executive compensation and benefits, union elections and collective bargaining, and immigration. Employers can be ready for such changes by staying on top of legislative activity. Ballard Spahr's tracking service prepares government affairs, human resources, and labor relations managers to act almost before the ink dries on a bill.
Stay on Top of Legislative Activity
The Workforce Legislation Tracking Service (WLTS) monitors legislation in all 50 states and at the federal level in the areas of union organizing, labor and employment law, and employee benefits. Subscribers receive a Weekly Highlights e-mail, with information on pending and enacted legislation and links to the bills.
Legal Analysis
Ballard Spahr's service differs from commercial legislative services in that each piece of legislation is reviewed and summarized by Ballard Spahr labor attorneys. The service follows legislation, reporting on the various versions of a bill as it proceeds through revisions to approval or defeat. Links are provided to the full text of each version.
Subscription Details
The WLTS is a flat-fee subscription service. Subscribers can designate an unlimited number of users within an organization. Each user receives unlimited Web-based access to the service and the Weekly Highlights e-mail.
Significant changes are taking shape in the area of labor and employment, and it is critical for employers to keep tabs on relevant legislation. Subscribers to the WLTS do so easily with a weekly update.
