UNION ORGANIZING AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UPDATE
Presenter: Joseph P. McConnell, Partner, Morgan, Brown & Joy, LLP
Human Resources professionals in both unionized and non-unionized workplaces need to be aware that federal law related to collective bargaining applies to them. For the unionized workplace, employers must be aware of recent National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decisions that expand union rights and employer responsibilities. For the non-unionized setting, an employer must be cognizant that increased organization activities are taking place throughout Vermont.
Topics to be presented will include:
-The rules of engagement when the union comes knocking on your door (including do�s and don�ts for managers and supervisors);
-Tips on management�s role in collective bargaining;
-Employee�s Loudermill & Weingarten rights for union and non-union environments;
-New postings required by the NLRB;
-Other expected changes from the NLRB that employers need to know.
