Executive Summary: Previously, we alerted our clients that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued the final version of its “persuader rule,” which requires employers, third-party lawyers and other labor consultants to disclose to the DOL any arrangement to persuade employees directly or indirectly concerning the right to organize or bargain collectively. The rule applies to all types of union avoidance advice and other related activities, such as responses to an actual union organizing campaign, certain activities associated with collective bargaining, or simply day-to-day preventive training and policy making done with an “object to persuade.”
