- Excerpt from On the Horizon: Is Obama Remaking the Workplace While Leaving Congress Behind?

What if you were the president of the United States and knew you had zero chance of getting any significant legislation through Congress? Would you give up or look for another way?

Ever since the 2010 elections brought divided government to Washington, the Obama administration has been actively looking to impact workplace policies without either the approval of Congress or its interference. In the last two years of this administration, we can expect this president to use whatever powers are at his command to circumvent Congress and impact the workplace.
