"6 dynamics that could make or break the next Congress," Steve LaTourette quoted in USA Today
Newly empowered Republicans say yes — emphatically. After the GOP’s resounding victory in the 2014 elections, party leaders have touted plans to pass a sweeping overhaul of the tax code, a deficit-slashing 10-year budget plan, and economy-revving trade and jobs bills.

NLRB Rules That Employees Can Use Company Email for Union Organizing – Affects All Employers
Our colleague Steven Swirsky at Epstein Becker Green wrote an advisory on an NLRB ruling that affects all employers: “NLRB Holds That Employees Have the Right to Use Company Email Systems for Union Organizing – Union and Non-Union Employers Are All Affected.” Following is an excerpt:
In its Purple Communications, Inc., decision, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) has ruled that “employee use of email for statutorily protected communications on nonworking time must presumptively be permitted” by employers that provide employees with access to email at work. While the majority in Purple Communications characterized the decision as “carefully limited,” in reality, it appears to be a major game changer. This decision applies to all employers, not only those that have union-represented employees or that are in the midst of union organizing campaigns.
