Privacy - Drug Testing - State Law Issues

Labor Unions
 
Once a union has been selected as the bargaining unit by a group of employees, has been voluntarily recognized by the employer, or has been certified by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the union has the right to bargain with the employer for one year. If no agreement is reached within one year, the employer must continue to bargain with the union unless it withdraws its recognition of the labor union in good faith or until the union is decertified. An employer must bargain with a union that it voluntarily recognizes as its employees' representative for a reasonable amount of time.More...
