BREAKING: NLRB Postpones Date For Required Notice-Posting To January 31, 2012
Good news? The implementation of the NLRB Notice-Posting Rule [requirement to tell employees they can form a union] set for November 14, 2011 has been extended to January 31, 2012...any chance it will be extended again?
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has postponed the effective date of the new "Notice Posting Rule," originally set for November 14, 2011, to January 31, 2012. No other changes in the rule, or in the form or content of the required notice, have been made.
The purpose of the notice is to inform employees of their rights to organize, form, join or assist a union, to bargain collectively with their employer, and to discuss their wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment with their co-workers or a union. The new rule covers not only union workplaces, but non-union workplaces as well. Read More.

Dave Seitter Speaks at ABA Annual Meeting
Dave Seitter was a speaker at the ABA Annual Meeting in New Orleans on April 17, 2009. Dave’s presentation dealt with the relationship between the Bankruptcy Code and construction law, and was intended to be a primer for use by construction law attorneys to re-familiarize themselves with the intricacies of the Bankruptcy Code. His presentation described the effects of bankruptcy actions by owners, contractors and subcontractors on project completion and payment requirements, and provided in-depth analysis of how mechanic’s liens, surety bonds, jurisdictional challenges, set-off and recoupment, as well as earmarking and trust funds, are treated under the Bankruptcy Code. Dave is using his experience in bankruptcy law to navigate and position SFBB as a firm having expertise in the area of construction law. A summary of Dave’s presentation will appear in an upcoming issue of the section’s magazine, The Construction Lawyer.
