This session will provide an overview of the NLRB's recent activity and how it affects all companies, whether union or non-union. 

The NLRB's laser-like focus on expanding employee Section 7 rights makes business-as-usual a risky approach. Long-accepted employer policies and practices, social media practices and handbook language continue to be upended by the NLRB. What is an employer to do? This session will discuss legal and factual trend developments regarding: the “quickie election” rules, employee use of employer email to organize, the new definition of “solicitation”, “made-to-the-union's-order” bargaining unit, the board's activist approach to the joint employer issue, greater labor law scrutiny of federal contractors and much, much more! This session will help you:

·         Gain an overview of labor law trends and how they affect your company.

·         Understand how the NLRB's focus on expanding employee Section 7 rights makes many current business practices risky.

·         Learn practical recommendations to bring back to your company.
