Attend this session and learn how President Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is impacting both union and nonunion workplaces.
The NLRB is proving that it’s not just unionized employers that need to understand the nuances of traditional labor law. In a series of bold actions, the NLRB jumped into the world of Facebook and social media policies, required new labor law posters in workplaces, and proposed drastically changing the way unions get elected. In addition, through a series of union friendly decisions—including Specialty Healthcare, which introduced a sweeping change to bargaining unit determinations—the NLRB has tilted the labor-management playing fi eld toward unions. Salvatore will review these developments and discuss strategies for HR’s proactive response.
