Labor Law Basics

Sponsor:

BBA Labor and Employment Section

This program is designed for attorneys new to labor law, who wish to develop a labor practice or advise clients facing labor issues.

The panel of experienced practitioners will provide an overview of the relevant federal and state statutes and will culminate with audience participation in the analysis of a hypothetical union grievance, challenging an employer’s decision to discipline an employee.

Other topics that will be discussed include:

• employer and union “Do’s & Don’ts” during union organizing campaigns and/or elections
• explanation of “duty to bargain” and the mandatory subjects of bargaining.
• what an unfair labor practice (“ULP”) is
• collective bargaining agreement grievance procedures.
