The NLRA is the Grandaddy of them all when it comes to employment laws impacting on ALL private sector employers and employees. Recent changes dramatically change the legality of handbooks and policies, the rights of employees on social media and during workplace investigations, the leverage unions have during bargaining and, most significantly, created new and much easier pathways for unions to organize and very strict limits on employers' ability to educate employees during union organizing drives. The new reality is that employers could violate the law with a few simple words in a handbook and can be unionized in as little as fourteen days if they miss the new NLRB deadline. Immediate action is necessary to understand these changes, update your labor relations compliance strategies and prepare your workplace. This interactive session will update on the law and provide critical on how to prepare your management team for the challenges we face in the new pro-labor arena and era of heightened union activism.
Learning Objectives:
- A detailed understanding of new NLRA legal requirements that impact on all private sector employers.
- Clear guidance on how new changes in the law change the leverage labor unions have during organizing and at the bargaining table.
- Clear guidance on actions that must be taken to ensure the legality of handbooks and workplace policies.
- A detailed labor relations strategy guideline to take back to their workplaces to assess their risks and actions that can be taken to achieve their labor relations goals.
