Main Volume Information

Fill the void in the complex area of labor union law with the only book of this magnitude covering laws and regulations affecting the union, its members, and other represented employees. Labor Union Law and Regulation organizes and clarifies the widely varying laws and regulations governing labor unions. This exhaustive treatise, written by recognized experts in the field, covers all the significant aspects of labor union laws and regulations, including in-depth discussions of the Landrum-Griffin Act (LMRDA).

Labor Union Law and Regulation differs from the traditional approach to labor union law that organizes the subject by statutes and, instead, arranges chapters to address the various federal and state regulations by reference to a particular subject or function of operation. This approach facilitates a clearer, more practical understanding of this complex area of the law and the interaction of its various requirements. The authors of this reference are all seasoned practitioners who provide incisive analysis and valuable guidance as they explore every facet of labor union law.

Supplement Information

The 2011 Cumulative Supplement to Labor Union Law and Regulation addresses new developments in the law applicable to union governance and includes analysis of:

• The protracted litigation in federal court under the LMRDA and LMRA Section 301(a) engendered by the contested merger between the United Transportation Union and the Sheet Metal Workers and the resistance of local union officers to the imposition of a trusteeship by the parent union
• Recent duty of fair representation cases, including the decision by the Supreme Court in Ricci v. DeStefano addressing the standard to be applied to the negotiation of a collective bargaining agreement provision and a decision by the Fourth Circuit addressing whether the duty of fair representation affords a basis for removing a state court cause of action by a union member against the union
• Union-security decisions by the National Labor Relations Board on whether a union can require nonmembers to renew their objections to union expenditures on an annual basis and decisions by the Second Circuit on whether lobbying expenses relating to the union’s collective bargaining function and/or the cost of union conventions are properly “chargeable” to non-members
• Internal union precedents and principles applicable to federal sector unions and employees
