a law, but it remains to be seen whether
all sides can come together for some
form of paid sick leave." One suggested
compromise is a voluntary paid sick
leave program paid for, in part, by
employees through a reduction in
Social Security or other benefits.
The hot-button employment issue
on Capitol Hill will be immigration.
As Compoundings went to press, President Donald Trump has threatened
to shut down the government if he
does not get funding for a wall along
the border of Mexico. It is predictable
that, apart from the border wall,
House Democrats will seek to temper
the president's more controversial policies through congressional oversight of
his immigration agenda.
"It is possible that we'll see months
of gridlock on Capitol Hill, fueled in
part by some House Democrats who
campaigned on promises to commence
impeachment proceedings and issue
subpoenas to the Trump administration," Alfano added. "Such efforts
take a lot of the 'political oxygen' away
from legislating, distracting House and
Senate leaders."
Lastly, although the Republicancontrolled Congress failed to repeal
the Affordable Care Act (ACA) over
the past two years, it still may be
necessary for the new Congress to act.
A legal challenge to the ACA filed by
some members of Congress is pending in federal court in Texas. Many
observers contend that the judge
hearing the case has waited until after
the midterm elections before ruling.
A ruling striking down the law would
be appealed to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and
eventually to the Supreme Court.
A divided Congress that is unable to
pass either pro-employer or proemployee legislation will result in the
continuation of legislative changes
at the state and local levels, likely
creating a greater hodgepodge of
employment policies.
