Trusted for over 50 years, How to Take a Case Before the NLRB, updated with the 2011 Supplement, offers the most comprehensive analysis of changing NLRB procedures—for attorneys representing employers and ones representing unions. Authored by specialists from the American Bar Association's Section of Labor and Employment Law, the treatise covers:

  • Procedures for obtaining injunctive relief
  • Guidelines for mail-in ballots
  • Prioritization of unfair labor practice cases and the time targets for their processing
  • Procedures to expedite representation cases
  • Rules on attorney misconduct
  • Rules on settlement judges and bench decisions in unfair labor practice cases

The new 2011 Supplement expands the coverage of the Eighth Edition and discusses:

  • New and proposed NLRB Rules, including the notice posting requirement, the proposed election rules, and the decision of the Board in Specialty Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center of Mobile concerning non-acute healthcare bargaining units
  • The Board's decisions on election bar in cases of voluntary recognition and recognition of an incumbent union by a successor employer
  • Current requirements for filing and service of documents in NLRB proceedings
  • Recent Board election decisions concerning objections, challenged ballots, and election sites
  • Initiatives of the Acting General Counsel on deferral to arbitration policy, use of default provisions in settlement agreements, and requirements that settlements contain provisions to alleviate the negative tax and Social Security consequences of lump sum backpay payments

The treatise walks practitioners through the structure, jurisdiction, and changing role of the Board; discusses revisions to the ULP Case Manual; analyzes changes to the Board's Rules and Regulations over time; and provides instructions for representation hearings and unfair labor practice proceedings. It also provides extensive cross-references to the Board's regulations and Casehandling Manual, plus sample forms, correspondence, charts outlining Board procedures, and more.

The treatise was published in cooperation with the Practice and Procedure Under the National Labor Relations Act Committee of the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law. Section publications provide a balanced forum for the views and professional development of practitioners in labor and employment law.
