The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) passed sweeping revisions to the rules governing union election procedures. The enactment of these regulations, as well as President Obama's recess appointment of three commissioners to serve on the NLRB, underscore the administration's intention to push forward with its labor agenda in 2012. This will have a significant impact on all employers, whether or not you have previously been targets of organizing efforts.
In this webcast, leading employee relations attorneys G. Roger King of Jones Day and Brent Yessin of Yessin and Associates will describe in detail the "quickie" or "ambush" union election rule, and enumerate your rights and obligations when a union representation vote takes place. The program will also discuss new rules governing micro-bargaining units and the pending poster mandate for employers.The presenters will also discuss how the addition of three new commissioners will tilt the NLRB's agenda this year and beyond. Michael Layman of SHRM's Government Affairs will also discuss how HR professionals and their organizations can participate in and influence the rulemaking process.
