More than ever before, unions are targeting small and independent businesses. Expedited election regulations, mandatory paid time off and expansion of the Family Medical Leave Act are big ticket items with which they hope to turn the tide back in their favor. We are the leading voice fighting these initiatives. We believe that you should be free to offer the policies and benefit plans that best suit your business and your employees.

CUTLER THE UNION STRUGGLE At the beginning of the 20th Century management was all powerful and with the decision in Adair v. United States1 it seemed as though Congress was helpless to regulate labor relations. The Supreme Court had held that the power to regulate commerce could not be applied to the labor field because of the conflict with fundamental rights secured by the Fifth Amendment. Moreover, an employer could require a person to agree not to join a union as a condition of his employment and any legislative interference with such an agreement would be an arbitrary and unjustifiable infringement of the liberty of contract. It was not until the first World War that the federal government successfully entered the field of industrial rela- tions with the creation by President Wilson of the War Labor Board. Upon being organized the Board adopted a policy for- bidding employer interference with the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively and employer discrimination against employees engaging in lawful union activities2 .

  • Federal Labor Relations Statutes: an Overview
    Federal Labor Relations Statutes: An Overview Alexandra Hegji Analyst in Social Policy November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42526 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Federal Labor Relations Statutes: An Overview Summary Since 1926, Congress has enacted three major laws that govern labor-management relations for private sector and federal employees. An issue for Congress is the effect of these laws on employers, workers, and the nation’s economy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that, nationwide, 14.8 million employees are union members. In the 112th Congress alone, more than 30 bills were introduced to amend federal labor relations statutes. The proposals ranged from making union recognition without a secret ballot election illegal to further modifying runoff election procedures. These legislative activities, and the significant number of employees affected by federal labor relations laws, illustrate the current relevance of labor relations issues to legislators and their constituents. The three major labor relations statutes in the United States are the Railway Labor Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. Each law governs a distinct population of the U.S. workforce. The Railway Labor Act (RLA) was enacted in 1926, and its coverage extends to railway and airline carriers, unions, and employees of the carriers. The RLA guarantees employees the right to organize and collectively bargain with their employers over conditions of work and protects them against unfair employer and union practices. It lays out specific procedures for selecting employee representatives and provides a dispute resolution system that aims to efficiently resolve labor disputes between parties, with an emphasis on mediation and arbitration.

  • Procedures for Establishing a Dual Gate System
    PROCEDURES FOR ESTABLISHING A DUAL GATE SYSTEM WWW.AGCMASS.ORG Procedures for Establishing a Dual Gate System 888 Worcester Street, Suite 40 Wellesley, MA 02482-3708 781/235-2680 Fax: 781/235-6020 www.agcmass.org INTRODUCTION The procedure to follow in establishing a dual gate has been developed to assist member firms, both union and open shop, in effectively providing for a mixed job site with minimal exposure to costly job shutdowns caused by potential labor problems. The practice of having both union and open shop firms working side-by- side on the same site is widespread throughout the industry. Construction trade unions are able to place economic pressure on project owners and general contractors by picketing non-signatory contractors. Unless a specific legally established procedure is followed, these pickets could cause signatory firms’ employees from crossing the picket line, thereby shutting down the job. In many cases, the unions have a legally protected right to picket. Dual gates provide a practical, low-cost method of minimizing the impact of these pickets. This guide is intended to provide a step-by-step approach to establishing dual gates and should be used in conjunction with assistance from Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts – (781) 235-2680 – and legal counsel. Remember to call AGC for a review of each individual situation – it’s one service of your membership. AGC of Massachusetts wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the California chapter of AGC in developing many of the guidelines for this publication. DEFINITIONS Dual Gate, Reserved Gate, Two Gate System is a procedure under the National Labor Relations Act, which isolates a disputing union and employer, thereby allowing other neutral contractors to continue working.

  • 1.3 Recent Board & Department of Labor Activity on Union Organizing
    ABOUT THE AUTHORS Michael G. Pedhirney is a shareholder in the San Francisco office of Littler Mendelson, P.C., the largest U.S.-based law firm exclusively devoted to representing management in labor and employment law. Michael focuses on the representation of management in a broad range of labor and employment law matters, particularly collective bargaining and matters before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). In addition to appearing in state and federal courts and before the NLRB, Michael also represents employers in collective bargaining and handles arbitrations and mediations. Karen A. Sundermier, in her current role as a Knowledge Management Counsel for Littler, helped design Littler LaborSmart™, an interactive, online tool that allows in-house legal and labor relations professionals to access all of their company’s collective bargaining agreements in a structured, searchable database. The tool allows companies to swiftly identify and compare language for contract administration, grievance, and negotiation purposes. Prior to turning her focus to offering strategic and innovative legal service solutions, Karen represented employers in a broad spectrum of employment and labor matters and assisted employers with representation elections and collective bargaining as a Littler associate and in- house employment counsel. She currently serves as an editor for Littler’s publications on labor relations topics. © 2018 LITTLER MENDELSON, P.C. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. i COVERAGE Scope of Discussion. This publication explains union election procedures and the NLRB’s role in overseeing elections. It also explores NLRB precedent on objectionable conduct by different parties that may result in election results being overturned. Also included is information concerning actions employers are permitted to take and are prohibited from taking in advance of and in response to union organizing drives.
