the American Bar Association's Section of Labor and Employment Law, this two-volume treatise describes the development of labor law under the National Labor Relations Act through the end of 2005. The editor-in-chief (a member of the National Labor Relations Board and a faculty member at the Columbus School of Law, Catholic U. of America) first presents chapters detailing the history of the law, covering the Wagner Act, Taft-Hartley changes, Landrum-Griffin changes, and the post-Landrum-Griffin period. The treatise then discusses protected employee activity, covering interference with protected rights, discrimination in employment, employer domination of and assistance to labor organizations. The representation process and union recognition is covered in chapters discussing restrictions on pre-election activity, proceedings and elections, appropriate bargaining units, and recognition and withdrawal of recognition without an election. The collective bargaining process is covered in detail and issues of arbitration are examined. Discussion of issues of economic action, including the primary strike, the lockout, picketing for organization and recognition, the "hot cargo" agreement, and jurisdictional disputes open the second volume, followed by chapters on the duty of fair representation and union security. The treatise concludes with examination of the administration of the Act in chapters exploring jurisdiction, federal preemption of state regulation, accommodations to other federal laws, the applicability of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to labor disputes, National Labor Relations Board procedures, NLRB orders and remedies, and judicial review and enforcement. Case issues under current review by the NLRB are included in the discussion.
