The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
HR Policy is adding to its staff one of the most highly respected employment lawyers in the country, G. Roger King, who will serve as Senior Labor and Employment Counsel for the Association. King, who testified before the House Education and the Workforce Committee this week on "the unprecedented and ever-expanding policy-change oriented agenda of the present National Labor Relations Board," has a long-standing relationship with the Association, serving as our outside counsel in several key cases. He is retiring from the Jones Day law firm, where he has represented a number of our member companies and served most recently as co-counsel in the landmark Noel Canning v. NLRB case (see story above). Mr. King joins the Association at a critical time when the NLRB and other agencies in the Obama administration rush to complete their aggressive agendas before the change in administrations in 2017. As he noted in his testimony this week, the NLRB's pursuit of its current agenda "may create precedent for future Boards from other administrations to also engage in an extreme 'makeover' of Board case law and election procedures. Such extreme policy change, it is submitted, is not sound public policy, and will result in the Agency’s already strained credibility being questioned even further by the courts, the Board’s numerous stakeholders, and the Congress."
