A federal trial court in Texas has issued a nationwide injunction, freezing the DOL's Persuader Rule, which would otherwise have taken effect July 1, 2016, calling it "not merely fuzzy around the edges" but "defective to its core because it entirely eliminates the LMRDA's Advice Exemption," in other words, it eliminates, as argued by the American Bar Association, among others, the ability of companies to seek and lawyers to give legal advice in the context of a union organizing campaign. The case is National Federation of Independent Business v. Perez, USDC-N.Tex., opinion dated 6/27/16.
