Labor and Employment Law Program

The NLRB: Crisis or Business as Usual?

Wednesday, May 15, 2013
8:30am-11:00am

Recently, the NLRB has issued several controversial rulings emphasizing the existing rights of non-union employees to engage in "protected concerted activity," making it more relevant to the 90% of the private sector workforce. This program will address what you need to know as you advise your employer, employee, and union clients about: Confidential Investigations—when and how can employers inform employees that a workplace investigation is confidential?  Codes of Conduct & Employee Handbooks—what specific policy provisions are being found unlawful by the Board?  Offer Letters & Employment Agreements—does integrated at-will language create risk for the employer under current Board thinking?  E-mail Use Policies—is the Board moving toward a new rule authorizing employees to use employer e-mail systems for union solicitations? Arbitration Agreements—are your employer clients at risk of an unfair labor practice charge if the arbitration agreement includes a class action waiver?
