The New Shape of Labor Law: How Another Year of Dramatic Changes Will Affect Non-Union and Union Employers

📅October 8, 2024, 12 – 1:30 pm EDT

Speakers: Lew Clark, Mike Hanna, Will Kishman, Laura Lawless and Dan Pasternak

Labor law has had another year of major changes in 2024, affecting both union and non-union employers. Non-union employers now have additional new obligations under the National Labor Relations Act. Organizations are recruiting new workers — and winning — at rates not seen in recent history. Unions’ success in organizing doctors, workers at foreign automakers, high-end retailers and other new groups may affect the US workplace more than their success in high-end coffee shops. . The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – the agency that enforces most labor laws in the US – regulates more and more areas and works closely with other agencies on new issues. At the same time, the courts have placed important new limits on the NLRB, and more restrictions are coming soon.

Please join us for this webinar, where we will discuss these and other important issues under federal labor law. We will also provide information to employers about what areas they should monitor and how they can prepare to manage their new obligations.

The proposal will cover:

The current status of the NLRB, and how it might change after the November election
Union to organize development, including how new Cemex laws have caused organizing, and how recent union successes may affect key industries
New guidance on accounting policies, preventing unfair competition and regulating employee conduct under new NLRB standards.
How federal courts have weakened the NLRB in recent months, and how other pending cases could further restrict the NLRB.
Important legislative developments affecting union employers, such as new “restrictive fee” laws and new guidance on collective bargaining obligations.
