Session II:
Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act and Unfair Labor Practice Charges
We know that Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects the rights of employees to form, join or support a labor organization, to engage in protected concerted activity, and/or to refrain from all of those activities. What happens when an employer or a union infringes upon those employee rights? What conduct is prohibited by Sections 8(a) and 8(b) of the NRLA? Join our panel for an informative and timely discussion about what conduct is and is not legal under the NLRA.

Session III: Grievance Arbitration and Deferral of Unfair Labor Practice Charges to Arbitration
Tuesday, August 2 | 12:00 Noon - 1:00 PM CDT
What powers do labor arbitrators have to decide grievances filed under collective bargaining agreements (often by unions against employers on behalf of represented employees)? When will the National Labor Relations Board defer unfair labor practice charges to the grievance and arbitration procedure to be decided by arbitrators? How does the arbitration process differ from traditional litigation procedures? Join our panel for an educational and lively discussion of these topics.
