Legislative Update NLRB Its Broke and You Cant Fix It! - Workology

Legislative Update NLRB Its Broke and You Cant Fix It! New NLRB  Nominations Fast, Furious, Ineffective Dysfunctional continues to be the watchword regarding news related  to the National Labor Relations Board.     The activity related to fixing the operational problems is moving at a  fast and furious, but mostly ineffectual pace.   Heres a news summary with some relevant links for you to check out. New NLRB  Nominations President Obama is attempting  to return to the NLRB to functional status by sending a slate of five names, which would constitute a full Board.   It is unlikely that the Senate will conform this slate, given the current political situation and following the Noel Canning decision. The  nominees  include two Republicans, Harry Johnson and Philip Miscimarra. Obama also renominated Democrat Mark Gaston Pearce, who is currently serving on the board.   Previously, Obama renominated Sharon Block and Richard Griffin   to the five-member board.     This move is expected to place pressure on Republicans, and help the President justify his previous recess appointments which had been ruled unconstitutional.   That decision is currently being appealed by the NLRB. Houses passes the Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act As I reported on the Human Race Horses last week, SHRM recently  anounced that the  U.S. House of Representatives had passed H.R. 1120, Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act by a 219-209 vote. The bill would simply prohibit the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from taking any action that requires a quorum of the members of the Board until either a quorum of members has been confirmed by the Senate, the Supreme Court issues a decision on the constitutionality of the appointments to the Board made in January 2012, or the 113th Congress adjourns at the end of 2013.  As you may know, in Noel Canning v. NLRB, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit held on Jan. 25 that President Obama’s three January 2012 “recess appointments” to the NLRB were unconstitutional because they were made while the Senate was not in recess. Despite the court ruling, the NLRB continues to issue orders and decisions and may issue regulations. There is now a substantial question whether the NLRB’s recent and future actions have the force of law, and this creates needless uncertainty for employers and employees. SHRM supports balanced labor-management relations, and therefore SHRM supported H.R. 1120 because it would provide short-term clarity for all parties that the federal court’s decision in Noel Canning should stand until the Senate or Supreme Court acts.  In other words, the NLRB is still broke and it doesnt look like they are going to get it fixed anytime soon.

Your Best Resume Ever - Copeland Coaching

Your Best Resume Ever 2017 is set to be a great year. So, let’s start off with a great resume to get us at the front of the job search line. Polishing up your resume is like polishing up your best shoes. First impressions are everything! Here are a few dos and don’ts to get you started: DO Keep your resume up to date. You never want to be caught off-guard when a potential employer asks you for a resume. Besides, keeping your resume up to date prevents you from having to think back to what you did years ago. Include details of your past work experience. Add in quantifiable information that will help an employer to really understand what you did. Here are a few things you can include: How many people you managed, how large your budget was, how many sales you generated, how many clients you had, how much you improved performance, how often you completed a particular task. You get the idea. There are lots of things you can quantify. Include your educational information, including courses you may have taken after college or graduate school. Employers want to know who you are, and this is another way to show them. Do include the work you’re doing outside of work. Do you run a side consulting business? Have you been volunteering at a local non-profit? DON’T Dont include your graduation year if you have any concerns about it. You may not want an employer to know your age â€" whether you are young or old. You also may not want to have to explain why it took ten years to finish undergraduate school due to a family issue of some kind. You don’t have to include your graduation year. Don’t include your GPA. Unless you are right out of college and applying for a highly technical job (like engineering), employers rarely care about this. The more senior you are in your career, the odder your GPA looks in your resume. Don’t leave typos. I know â€" you aren’t applying to a spelling bee. But, this is the thing. Many employers (MANY) say that they will toss your resume in the trash (yes, in the trash) when they find a typo. I know it’s dramatic and completely nit-picky, but let’s just play the game by the rules we’re dealt. Run spell check. Ask your most detailed oriented friend to comb through it for you. Don’t leave any stone unturned here. Dont include unneeded information. You don’t need to include your reference list, or even that references are available upon request. And, almost always, you don’t need to include your high school or information dating back to high school (unless you’re right out of college and have something significant to show). Dont include information about controversial views. I know you love your place of worship. I know you feel passionate about your political views. Everyone does, and I totally respect that. But, unless you are applying to a company that specifically aligns to your views, you may be judged negatively for including yours. This is a personal decision, but most people want to be judged on their professional merits when applying for a job â€" not their personal views. Don’t wait! Start updating your resume now. And, once you have it in a spot you like, save it as a PDF and send it to yourself in an e-mail. That way, if you’re ever out and about and someone says, “I’d love to get a copy of your resume!” (this does happen), you’ll be prepared. You can say, “Sure, I can do that right now! What’s your email address?” I can personally attest to this: having a resume on the spot can work wonders. I hope these tips have helped you.
