in the comments to the "it's official" post below, hydro asks about the new disclosure rules for labor unions. this is a fairly big issue in my work, a major new burden on many of my clients, and generally yet another example of how anti-labor this administration is. but i haven't really posted on this or other labor issues on this blog. that's because:
(1) the examples i know about first hand i can't really talk about because it runs into all sorts of client confidentiality issues,
(2) i am wary of giving anything that resembles legal advice online,
(3) often work-related issues are the last thing i want to think about when i am posting. this is a forum for me to rant about all the other things that i have less of a opportunity for expressing in my daily life, and
(4) nathan newman already does such a good job at posting on labor issues anything i would do would pale in comparison. (note, i don't always agree with him. on some things--like plame and judicial review--we disagree. but we are basically on the same side of labor issues)
for newman's post about the new disclosure rules for labor unions see this post and this one too.
