The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor
Relations Act 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; as well as procedures 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 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 2009 Cumulative Supplement covers developments from 2008 under the NLRA
and related labor statutes, including issues concerning:
-- Employer regulation of e-mail systems
-- Neutrality agreements
-- Remedies and applicable burdens of proof
-- The authority of a "two-member" Board to issue decisions

-- Numerous other major decisions issued since the publication of the
main
volume in 2006

The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor
Relations Act, Fifth Edition with 2009 Cumulative Supplement provides not only
a clear and concise statement of the law, but also a history of how it
developed. In addition, it provides a revised and expanded index and a revised
Table of Cases, with cases listed under employer names, as well as under union
names when unions are respondents. It is the ultimate desktop reference for
labor and employment law practitioners.
