What Retailers Need to Know About Labor Developments and Union Organizing Strategies

Retail businesses have long been favored targets of organized labor. While the NLRB continues to issue pro-labor rules and decisions, union organizing and strikes and picketing directed at retail employers are on the rise.  Labor relations issues add a difficult layer to retailers’ already complicated economic and operational challenges.  An employer’s best defense is having a firm understanding of what to expect, what lawful actions may be taken, and how to devise effective strategies. 

Please join us for a complimentary webinar presentation and discussion that will provide insight and solid strategic advice for retailers – unionized and non-union – on the latest labor developments.  Littler shareholders who are on the cutting edge of these issues for retailers nationwide will cover: 

• Current union organizing trends in the retail sector and effective strategies to address those efforts
• Micro-units and how one recent Board case has dramatically changed union organizing
• NLRB expedited elections proposed rule
• Notice of Rights rule and the legal limits of your responses
• Social networking and Section 7 rights
• DOL proposed persuader regulations
• How we expect these changes to affect the retail sector
