Get ready for more posts in 2007....

We haven't been posting a lot lately. We're saving our strength.

After years of no major federal employment laws (save last year's Pension Protection Act), Congress is changing hands. And here come the unions, trial lawyers, and politicians with some fresh ideas for employers. Here is an AP article on the subject.

Of course, having carefully studied civics as a child, I know it will take a lot of work to pass even one employee-friendly bill. (I also know that conjunctions' function is to hook up words and phrases and clauses.)

But I think even a divided Congress can pass some new employment mandates, assuming the President is willing to horse-trade a judicial appointment or a military appropriation or two.
