The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act is the essential research tool for labor and employment law practitioners. In two volumes, kept current with annual cumulative supplements, this classic treatise provides an authoritative, balanced perspective on the legal rights and duties of employees, employers, and unions; as well as procedures and remedies under the NLRA. For the specialist, it is a quick means of accessing lead cases; for the generalist, it provides an excellent summary of the law and how that law developed. All labor 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 Fifth Edition includes a broad range of topics critical to labor law interests, including:
- Discussion of a number of unfair labor practices and representation case issues arising from neutrality agreements that the Board is considering
- Discussion of the economic weapons available to unions and employers
- Preemption—updates on litigation involving conflicts between the NLRA and state laws
- The duty to bargain—information cases
- Updates on the relationship between the NLRA and bankruptcy, immigration, and other federal statutes
The 2010 Cumulative Supplement covers developments from 2009 under the NLRA and related labor statutes, including issues concerning:
- The legality of an employer's retained discretion in a progressive discipline policy
- Standards for filing a valid Board charge
- Application of the Board's "clear and unmistakable waiver" test in the subcontracting context
- Numerous other major decisions issued since the publication of the Fifth Edition.
The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act, Fifth Edition with 2010 Cumulative Supplement provides not only a clear and concise statement of the law, but also a history of how it developed. In addition, it provides a revised and expanded index and a revised Table of Cases, with cases listed under employer names, as well as under union names when unions are respondents. It is the ultimate desktop reference for labor and employment law practitioners.
