From the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce: State Chamber President Ted Pitts released an Action Alert to Chamber members urging them to contact their labor attorneys to discuss the new Department of Labor Persuader Rule before July 1, 2016.

The proposed Department of Labor rule would impact businesses’ client-attorney privilege and would also potentially change how businesses defend themselves in union situations.

Many in the business community are concerned that the rule could most negatively impact small businesses who do not have in-house legal departments to turn to for advice on labor relations issues.
