This guide covers labor relations law from the first protected conversation through arbitration and judicial review. It begins with Section 7 and the concerted activity doctrine that protects most private sector employees whether or not a union exists, then sets out the coverage exclusions that determine whether the Act applies at all. A full part addresses organizing and elections, including what employers may and may not do and the bargaining orders that follow serious misconduct. Separate parts cover the duty to bargain, mandatory and permissive subjects, unilateral change, impasse, and contract enforcement; grievance and arbitration practice including Weingarten rights and the deferential review of awards; and the union's duty of fair representation together with statutory member rights against unions. Further parts address strikes, replacement, secondary activity, preemption, decertification timing bars, public sector bargaining, and the Railway Labor Act. The guide closes with worked problems, employer compliance, and a reference section. Authority is cited and linked throughout.
