For more than 40 years, practitioners have relied on The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act to keep them current on U.S. labor law. This two-volume treatise, written by distinguished members of the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law representing management, labor, and neutrals, is the essential research tool for labor and employment law practitioners. It provides an authoritative, balanced perspective on the legal rights and duties of employees, employers, and unions and on procedures and remedies under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). For the specialist, this classic reference is a quick means of accessing leading cases; for the generalist, it provides an excellent summary of the law and its development. All labor and employment law practitioners will benefit from the history of the development of every major labor law doctrine that this distinctive reference work provides-from contract bar to deferral to arbitration and all that lies in between, including prohibited secondary activity. The new Sixth Edition includes updated discussion of a number of important topics, including: Employer-mandated confidentiality agreements Employee handbook restrictions on solicitations Definition of a supervisor Definition of an independent contractor The disagreement between the Board and the Ninth Circuit concerning the right of an employer to unilaterally discontinue union dues checkoff after a contract expires Obligation of an employer to provide financial information requested by the union during bargaining Legitimacy of union use of inflated rat balloons and banners to advertise labor disputes Rights of employees to object to payment of full union dues under a union shop agreement Obligation of an employee who is unlawfully discharged under the NLRA to seek interim employment Definition of a salt Several important decisions altering Board precedents have been handed down since the Fifth Edition that will affect labor law practitioners. New cases discussed in the Sixth Edition concern such topics as: Employer restrictions on the use of company email to discuss union activity New standards for determining the unit in which an election should be held when unions are seeking smaller units than employers Whether voluntary recognition bars the filing of an election petition Whether union bannering amounts to picketing in violation of the secondary boycott and recognitional picketing provisions of the NLRA The requirement by unions that employees notify them annually of their objections to paying union dues in excess of the cost of representing the unit The standards for determining whether an employer's refusal to hire a salt is unlawful Qualification of an at will employee as a permanent strike replacement Assessment of supervisory status Board jurisdiction over operators of charter schools

The Railway Labor Act, 2nd Edition, 2010 Cumulative Supplement

A must-have reference source for every multinational company and for attorneys advising or representing their employees, or former employees dealing with cross-border trade secret issues or restrictive covenants in employment agreements in Europe. Drafting and negotiating restrictive covenants or litigating covenants and trade secrets issues at the international level is no simple task. As the global economy continues to expand, it is becoming increasingly challenging for attorneys in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions representing employers to ensure such provisions are enforceable worldwide, and for those representing employees to ensure that their clients are able to retain their mobility in the event of a change in circumstances. Enforcement on the employer side is particularly difficult in foreign jurisdictions where courts disfavor post-employment restrictions in general, where such restrictions may supersede a U.S. court s decision on the merits, or where statutory or regulatory limits exist on allowable mechanisms. More commonly, a foreign court may set aside U.S. choice of law and jurisdictional provisions contained in an agreement because those provisions violate or run counter to its own legal requirements. In the end, thinking globally about these provisions while being attentive to local rules and customs is essential to attorneys involved in this work. Now there is a treatise that provides detailed comprehensive assistance for the drafting, negotiating, and litigating process, with information provided by attorneys in key countries around the world: Restrictive Covenants and Trade Secrets in Employment Law: An International Survey, Volume I. Volume I explores the differences between the U.S. and European countries in regulating noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions and in imposing restrictions related to confidential information and trade secrets, as well as use of garden leave and restrictions on equity compensation in this area. The authors also offer key insights on strategies and tactics that are essential to dealing effectively with these issues. This survey also identifies and analyzes the privacy concerns that arise when employers try to restrict their employees disclosures, conduct investigations concerning possible violations, or monitor compliance. And it discusses the typical procedural questions that arise, such as use of temporary restraining orders and injunctions. Each country-specific chapter is written by highly-regarded local lawyers.
