    Product Description

    Navigating the “Dos and Don’ts” of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) can be tricky business for employer representatives and labor attorneys. Our panel shares an engaging discussion of examples of conduct that are prohibited by the Act as well as conduct that is lawful. Depending upon the facts and circumstances of each case, experienced practitioners may disagree. In the real world of private sector union organizing, it is not unusual for the union counsel to learn of alleged illegal activity well before the employer and their attorney. Quite often the difference between lawful and unlawful is a single word, or gesture . . . .

    Most labor law practitioners are familiar with the basic rules of organizing: no threats, interrogation, promises, solicitation of grievances, or “surveillance.” What about mandatory employee meetings where managers or outside speakers facilitate discussions about the pros and cons of unionization? Can an employee be required to attend such informational meetings against their will? Can an employee be disciplined for refusing to attend, or walking out of the meeting? Are employers allowed to prohibit union buttons, hats and or t-shirts? Is an employer allowed to prohibit employees from passing out pro-union leaflets in the workplace? Our experienced panelists cover all these questions and more during this new lively one-hour program.
