Featured Study Aids
Labor Law in a Nutshell
Available via the West Academic subscription, this nutshell reviews labor relations law in the United States from its origins to the creation of key statutory protections and the up to date developments of the modern-day National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Expert commentary offers insight into primary legal issues such as union organizing, picketing, employer responses, the duty to bargain, and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements and their arbitration provisions.
Understanding Labor Law
Available via the LexisNexis Digital Library (Overdrive), this Understanding text examines the multifaceted and complex law of private-sector Labor Law. Because Understanding Labor Law focuses on relations between management and labor in the private sector, it deals primarily with the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, and its interpretation and application by the federal courts and the National Labor Relations Board. The book is organized in a format that is consistent with the organization of most Labor Law courses. At the end of each chapter is a section titled “Chapter Highlights,” summarizing some of the major doctrines discussed in the chapter.
