Tremain will discuss his topic, "Recent Developments at the National Labor Relations Board." In late 2007, the National Labor Relations Board decided a number of cases which dramatically changed labor-management relations and protections, from changing the definition of covered employees, to permitting employers to deny employee use of the employer's e-mail system for organizing or other union purposes. From his perspective as a seasoned NLRB regional director, Mr. Tremain will address the impact of these decisions. Lunch will be provided; please bring your own drink.
