Ready for November 2? Employee Voting Rights in 50 States
November 2 is just two weeks away. The mid-term elections are almost here. It’s predicted that there will be a lot of new faces in Congress next year. Remember, it was generally believed that the 2008 elections would usher in all kinds of new labor and employment laws. That hasn’t happened. It’s generally believed that the results of the mid-term elections will mean very little activity on the labor and employment front. It will be interesting to see if we are as wrong about the mid-term elections as we were about the 2008 elections.
Before dealing with what might happen with a new Congress, employers need to make sure they comply with the laws in their states on employee voting rights. I posted a 50 state survey of voting rights laws a couple of weeks ago. This is just a reminder to check it out. I hope it helps.
