A Vital Webinar for Management, HR, and Supervisory Roles
About: The NLRB is the federal agency that oversees labor relations in the US. It has the power to decide cases involving union organizing, collective bargaining, unfair labor practices, and strikes. President Biden has expressed his strong support for unions and workers' rights and has appointed judges who share his vision to the NLRB. This means that Contractors, whether they are unionized or not, need to be aware of the NLRB's rules and rulings, and how they affect their business.
Intended Audience: Anyone in a training, management, human resources or supervisory role and includes such positions such as project managers, assistant project managers, superintendents and safety personnel.
This virtual, webinar program is taught by Frank L. Carrabba who has been engaged in the practice of labor and employment law for over 52 years. He began his career in 1971 in Washington, D.C. where he served as an attorney-advisor to a member (judge) of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Thereafter, from 1973 to 1977, he was a trial attorney for the NLRB in Houston and San Antonio, Texas. The first case he tried at the NLRB, Eastex, Inc., resulted in a United States Supreme Court decision in 1978.
Co-instructing this program is Ved D. Chitale, Senior Associate, Andrews Myers, PC., who regularly advises individuals and businesses of all sizes on labor and employment laws including FLSA, ADA, ADEA, Title VII, ERISA, Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Texas law on non-compete and non-solicit covenants, and more, such as the Pay Day Act, employment torts, and wrongful termination.
