On Monday, June 27, 2016, Judge Sam Cummings, a Senior District Judge for the Northern District of Texas, issued an order that places a temporary hold on the Department of Labor’s (DOL) new “Persuader Rule.” In an 86-page order, Judge Cummings granted a preliminary injunction requested by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), prohibiting the DOL from implementing its new rule, which would have expanded the information that companies must report to the DOL when they hire consultants to fight against union organizing campaigns.
