You will gain an understanding of the emerging legal trends coming from the NLRB, including how the Board is scrutinizing employer handbooks.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been aggressive in promoting union-friendly policies during the Obama administration, but its world was turned upside down by the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2014 decision in Noel Canning, which invalidated three recent appointments to the Board and scores of recent actions. Now the Board is rehearing and reprocessing many old cases. So what’s the latest on the Board’s proposed rule allowing for speedier union elections? Or decisions related to the right of employees to use work e-mail to organize a union? Social media policies? The definition of employer for the purpose of labor rules? This session will answer these pivotal questions.
