With a quick stroke of the presidential pen on Friday, January 30, 2009, President Obama signed three executive orders that will greatly impact federal government contractors.

Specifically, President Obama's three orders require the following: (1) all federal contractors must post notices informing employees of their rights to form and join unions; (2) all federal contractors may not seek reimbursement for funds spent on influencing employees regarding unionization; and (3) all federal contractors succeeding to a service contract must provide job opportunities to employees of the previous service contractor.
