The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) legislation, which proposes to eliminate secret ballot elections in union organizing efforts, will have far reaching ramifications. Employee unions presently enjoy a 66 percent win-rate in NLRB elections and it is expected that the Act will sharply increase the success of employee organizing attempts.
Please join Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP on Tuesday, July 14 for an HRCI accredited, complimentary webinar designed to help employers understand the impact that EFCA will have on unionization throughout the US and on their business. We will address the following topics:
- The political landscape surrounding EFCA and its current status
- What management needs to know about union organizing: do’s and don’ts
- How the EFCA would change the law
- What the “card check” is and how it will work
- What the mediation/arbitration requirements are
- What the penalties are for unfair labor practices
- How employers can prepare
Speakers:
Barbara A. Lee, Counsel, Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP
Marc L. Zaken, Partner, Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP
