The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a proposed form revision calling for federal contractors that use “persuaders”—consultants or attorneys who inform employees about the possible effects of unionization—to be publicly identified. The proposal could result in fewer contractors using persuaders.
The DOL recommended adding a box to its LM-10 form, which employers that engage persuaders file, for federal contractors and subcontractors to check if engaged in persuader activity.
