Layoffs and Rightsizing for Unionized or Unionizing Workforces

Layoffs and Rightsizing for Unionized or Unionizing Workforces

Overview


Executive teams and boards are evaluating workforce realignments. Economic changes and the rise of artificial intelligence are changing workforce needs and optimization strategies. Unionized workforces or those in the process of unionizing pose unique challenges and timing considerations. Careful planning is needed to navigate the unprecedented challenges and opportunities at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Join members of McDermott Will & Schulte’s labor practice as they present and analyze legal and strategic considerations.

Discussion topics will include:

  • Legal frameworks that apply to workforce reductions in unionized and unionizing environments
  • Current investigation and enforcement trajectory at the NLRB
  • Cost, timing, and risk mitigation strategies, including strategies for newly acquired workforces
  • Strategies for successful and rapid effects bargaining
  • Considerations for government contractors navigating workforce reductions

Submit your questions when you register using the link above, and the speakers will answer them during the webinar.
