About
Recent headlines should make it clear that unions still present major challenges to employers. Collective bargaining, strikes and lockouts, work relocation decisions, buying and selling unionized businesses, NLRB rulings and labor agreements that can impact your business decisions all need to be dealt with effectively or the consequences can be enormous. Unions have more leverage in Washington than they have had in years and the prospect of further gains in November means that you could be facing new and complex labor issues in the years to come.
In addition, non-union businesses frequently face union-organization campaigns and unfair labor practice claims. In this environment, legal and human resources professionals must have a clear understanding of the rules and their options when facing a difficult labor relations issue.
American Conference Institute’s publication from the National Forum on Labor-Management Relations gives you critical insights on:
- Preparing for the possible passage of the Employee Free Choice Act
- Understanding the impact of recent NLRB decisions on your employment practices
- Developing strategies to deal with aggressive union organizing campaigns
- Ensuring that consolidations and relocations take labor agreements into account
