Overview
Before the 2020 election, then US Presidential candidate Joe Biden vowed to be the “strongest labor president you have ever had.” Now having been in office for almost a year, we will take a look at how President Biden has changed the country’s labor environment, and the latest updates coming out of his administration.
Employers across industries are seeing an uptick in labor activity and feeling the effects of what some referred to as “Strike-tober.” During this next installment in our Labor under Biden webinar series, McDermott Partners Ron Holland and Kristin Michaels and Associate Philip Shecter will discuss where this activity is stemming from and how the latest labor developments affect both union and nonunion employers.
Discussion topics include:
- What recent developments at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) mean for you
- Workplace activism and protected concerted activity in traditionally nonunion settings
- The uptick in unfair labor practices, union organizing and aggressive union activity
- The latest changes to the Build Back Better Act and civil penalties
- Where the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act stands today
