Labor Law | Professor Brudney

This course addresses the federal law of labor-management relations, primarily under the National Labor Relations Act, as amended.  Subjects covered include employee organizational and representational rights; establishment of the collective bargaining relationship; negotiation and enforcement of the collective bargaining agreement; concerted activities such as strikes, picketing, and lockouts; and the union’s duty of fair representation.  We also will address certain related issues of national labor law including the rights of individual employees to object to their union; judicial review of arbitration decisions and promises to arbitrate; successorship and the obligations of a successor employer;  and federal preemption of state workplace laws.
