Yesterday, the Department of Labor’s controversial "Persuader Rule" was published in the Federal Register and will require employers, beginning July 1, 2016, to make disclosures to the DOL regarding consultants and attorneys they hire to assist them in persuading employees regarding representational (union organizing) and collective bargaining matters.
