Description
Main Volume Information
The ultimate desktop reference for labor and employment law practitioners.
Written by distinguished members of the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law representing management, labor, and neutrals, The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act, Fifth Edition provides comprehensive, scholarly coverage that practitioners have relied on for almost 40 years. The Developing Labor Law is the essential research tool for labor and employment law practitioners. In two volumes, kept current with annual cumulative supplements, this classic treatise provides an authoritative, balanced perspective on the legal rights and duties of employees, employers, and unions; procedures under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA); and remedies under the NLRA. For the specialist, it is a quick means of accessing lead cases; for the generalist, it provides an excellent summary of the law and how that law developed. All labor law practitioners will benefit from the history of the development of every major labor law doctrine that this distinctive reference work provides—from contract bar to deferral to arbitration and all that lies in between, including prohibited secondary activity.
The Fifth Edition includes a broad range of topics critical to your labor law interests, including:
- Discussion of a number of unfair labor practices and representation case issues arising from neutrality agreements that the Board is considering
- Discussion of the economic weapons available to unions and employers
- Preemption—updates on litigation involving conflicts between the NLRA and state laws
- The duty to bargain—information cases
- Updates on the relationship between the NLRA and bankruptcy, immigration, and other federal statutes
The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act, Fifth Edition provides not only a clear and concise statement of the law, but also a history of how it developed. It is the ultimate desktop reference for labor and employment law practitioners. In addition, the Fifth Edition provides a revised and expanded index and a revised Table of Cases, with cases listed under employer names, as well as under unions’ names when unions are respondents.

- Whether the Board’s decisions have expanded protected concerted activity under Section 8(a)(1)
- The Board’s revision of its remedies—daily compounding of interest in back-pay awards, and electronic notice postings.
- The Supreme Court’s New Process Steel case, which invalidates hundreds of two-Member Board decisions
- Whether unions may lawfully display large stationary banners in front of a neutral employer’s business to alert the public to the fact that the neutral employer is doing business with a nonunion employer with whom the union has a dispute
- Whether a union’s requirement that Beck objectors renew their objection annually violated the union’s duty of fair representation
- Whether an employer’s agreement to recognize a union prior to that union’s recognition as bargaining representative is lawful
