Labor Law

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to the rights and obligations of private sector employees, labor unions, and employers, mostly under the National Labor Relations Act. Unlike Employment Law, which focuses on individual rights, the focus here is on collective rights. Topics will include the right to organize, union recognition and certification, bargaining unit determination, the duty of and scope of collective bargaining, the right to strike and alternative processes, and contract administration. There are no pre- or co-requisites. The final project will be an in-school final exam to be given during the end-of-semester exam period.
