Event

"Labor Relations Forum" Seminar - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Date   Dec 10, 2009
Time   8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

WHY YOU NEED TO ATTEND THIS LABOR RELATIONS FORUM
Organized labor has set an ambitious agenda for reform that will impact both union and non-union employers. Labor leaders have pushed for legislative change that would alter more than 70 years of labor law — making it far easier for unions to organize. Pro-labor appointees to the NLRB and Department of Labor promise to "level the playing field" to help unions organize. And, labor-friendly politicians argue that expanding unionization will boost the economy by raising the middle class. In the face of this agenda, management must thoughtfully consider how to respond in both union and non-union workplaces. This program will set the stage for such consideration — first reviewing important labor issues that every manager must understand and then presenting a comprehensive action plan for employers – whether at the bargaining table or facing expedited union organizing. By attending this program, you and your organization will be far better prepared for what lies ahead.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Labor's Agenda For Reform
  • The Rules of the Game -- Employer and Employee Rights (and Obligations) Under the NLRA
  • What's Up With the NLRB? Management's Response to the New Labor Activism of the Board
  • The Home Field Advantage (The Value of Positive Employee Relations)
  • EFCA & Beyond — How Labor Law Reform Will Fundamentally Transform How We Approach Union Avoidance
  • Lightning Strike! Responding to "Quick Strike" Union Organizing and Card-

  • Winning An Expedited NLRB Election — Once A Petition Is Filed
  • Key Elements of Managing a Unionized Workforce
