Letter to CDW Members

CDW Members:

I wanted to let you know that CDW will be represented at NLRB hearing next Monday and Tuesday on the proposed "ambush elections" rule by Chuck Cohen of Morgan Lewis. Chuck will be speaking on Monday afternoon. The full list of speakers is availablehere and a webcast will be available here.

While the hearing is next week, comments on the NLRB rule as well as DOL's gag rule are not due until August 22. CDW will be launching a grassroots website in the next few weeks, which will provide sample comments and help you and your members with filing those comments.

Lastly, we placed an op-ed in today's Washington Times on these issues. You can view that here.

Thanks,

Geoff
