Late in the day on Monday October 24, 2016, a U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Texas granted a preliminary injunction against implementation of major and contentious provisions of the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order (E.O.), also known as the “blacklisting” rule. The injunction, requested by the Associated Builders and Contractors of Southeast Texas, the Associated Builders and Contractors national organization, and the National Association of Security Companies,2 will temporarily block implementation and enforcement of the E.O.’s (1) disclosure and disqualification requirements and (2) prohibition on pre-dispute arbitration agreements.
