Federal Court Delays NLRB Poster Requirement
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. has granted an injunction regarding the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB's) mandate requiring employers to post a notice advising employees of certain rights under the National Labor Relations Act. This rule was scheduled to take effect April 30, 2012.
The Court of Appeals granted this injunction following a federal district court's decision in South Carolina late last week that ruled the NLRB overextended their authority in mandating such a requirement. The decision was in response to an appeal filed by the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace and the US Chamber of Commerce, both of which IEC is a member.
Seats Available for Fall Project Management Institute
A limited number of seats for the Fall Electrical Project Management Institute (PMI) course are still available. Taking place at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, the Electrical PMI is designed specifically for electrical contractors. This intensive management program focuses on electrical project management, using real examples from case studies. Attendees will learn tools to improve profitability and productivity and increase customer service.
The Fall course is offered in two sessions:
Session 1: August 22-25
Session 2: November 11-14
Past PMI attendees have praised the course and the knowledge they have gained. “It was the best professional development opportunity of my entire career,” explained Ryan Koebbe of TMI Electrical Contractors. “It was an intense and immersive experience, but hugely rewarding. I’d even consider going back to do it again sometime.”
