Labor Law has been approved as one of the courses that will satisfy the Statutory Course requirement.

In Fall 2018, Prof. Lidge will offer the course on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:00-11:50 a.m.

Course Description: This course is a study of labor relations law, with a special focus on the federal statutes. Primary emphasis is placed on union organization, employer responses, union economic weapons (strikes, picketing, and boycotts), internal union discipline of members, collective bargaining, and the role of the National Labor Relations Board. The problems involved in balancing the interests of management and labor, the individual and the group and the state and federal governments will also be discussed.
