Robert Gorman Labor Law (University Casebook Series) djvu

The Sixteenth Edition makes a number of significant changes to its predecessor, reflecting the evolution of the law relating to employers, employees, and unions in a dynamic economy. This edition includes new decisions of the National Labor Relations Board appointed by President Obama, which has departed in important ways from the approach of the Board under the prior administration. Moreover, the Board is now actively confronting the role of labor law in the contemporary workplace, addressing emergent issues such as protections for employee electronic communications and social media interactions, accountability for employers in fissured enterprises, and potential limitations on other employer restrictions on collective activity. The book also contains judicial decisions addressing these developments as well as reactions in Congress and elsewhere, evincing the growing polarization over the role of labor unions in society.This edition supplies a comprehensive revision in light of major legal shifts occurring from 2013 through 2015, notablythe new NLRB representation election rulesPurple Communications, adopting new rules on employee use of employer email for concerted activityMurphy Oil, reiterating D.F.
