The landscape of labor law standards in the United States is continuously evolving to address the changing needs and challenges of the workforce. Staying informed and adapting to these updates is crucial for both employers and employees.
Join us for this timely program that serves as an opportunity to better understand recent labor law changes and their implications, fostering a fair and equitable work environment for all.
AGENDA
Day 1: Will cover charges that an employer has interfered in a union election under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which can also illustrate unfair labor practices under state labor laws for public employees.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has revised several regulations applicable to union elections, and revised its interpretation of appropriate bargaining unit composition.
In addition, numerous decisions of the NLRB have changed the standards for determining when an employer interferes with employee free choice in a union election, while expanding the remedies available if an employer does interfere.
Day 2: Will bring you up to date on what is considered to be protected concerted activity by unionized or non-union employees.
Changes to the NLRB's review of discipline or discharges allegedly based on union or concerted activity will also be discussed.
This second day will also cover several revisions to the employer's duty to bargain in good faith under the NLRA, including limitations on the employer's ability to make unilateral changes.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Labor/Employee Relations Professionals
- Organizational Managers/Leaders
- Human Resources Professionals
- Employees and Advocates
- Business Owners
- Anyone interested in understanding current labor law standards in the United States
