This article introduces the major provisions of one signed and two proposed employment and labor legislation statutes (the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, the Employee Free Choice Act, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act) which are being openly discussed for possible enactment in the near future under the Obama administration.

We conclude by offering possible options for the small business community in dealing with the complexity of these issues.
