The New NLRB and Its Impact on You: Featured Presenter: Gavin Appleby, Esq. of Littler Mendelson
Who Will Benefit: About This IAML AudioProSM Conference: This program will discuss the key decisions that have been rendered by the new NLRB, several new decisions that protect workers in a non-union
environment (even if no union campaign is occurring), and a number of decisions soon to come. These decisions extend union organizing rights,
increase union bargaining power and, most importantly for non-union companies, broaden the concept of non-union-related, protected concerted
activity. The program should be of equal interest to union and non-union employers. Gavin Appleby, Esq. of Littler Mendelson, the nation's largest management law firm, will provide insights into the above topics as well
as practical and educational materials related to the NLRB's activities. Featured Presenter: Click here to purchase the CD online using a credit card

This program is designed for all intermediate/advanced level labor and employment professionals and
attorneys.
While the proposed Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) seems to have disappeared from sight, the new National Labor
Relations Board (NLRB) has taken its place as a dangerous threat to both unionized and non-unionized employers. The new NLRB is currently composed
of three union lawyers and one relatively neutral member. They are issuing decisions quickly, and many of those decisions reverse prior pro-company
decisions or extend additional rights and protections to unions and employees, including non-union workers.
