EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES COMMITTEE HOSTS BROWN BAG BRIEFING - May 25, 2011
The Obama NLRB has wasted no time overhauling the pro-employer decisions from the Bush administration. The NLRB is aggressively pursuing changes to organizing campaigns and elections to make it easier for unions to win elections. This seminar will update you on the NLRB's procedures and anticipated reversals of existing Board law, and actions that you can implement now to best protect your company against union organizing campaigns. Frank Carrabba, Law Office of Frank Carrabba, P.C., and Mark Jodan, Littler Mendelson, P.C., will be presenting on this topic.
