The labor movement has been energized by recent changes in the American political landscape, and the threat of union organizing is now as grave as it has been in many decades. This seminar will discuss the latest legislative developments involving the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), a proposed federal law that could do away with secret ballot union elections and require binding arbitration to set the terms of labor agreements between companies and unions when the parties fail to reach an agreement on their own.
Our team of experienced labor and employment attorneys will share winning techniques for staying union-free by preparing your company before a union campaign begins, as well as techniques for staving off unionization once an organizing campaign has begun. If you have specific questions about this topic that you would like addressed, please email them with your registration. We will try to cover as many questions as possible.
Please RSVP by Monday, May 18, 2009 to Laura Ellis at 615.726.5550. Complimentary program and breakfast. HRCI credit applied for.
Part of Baker Donelson's 2009 Third Thursday Breakfast Briefing Series.
