Tonkon Torp partner Kristin Bremer Moore co-authored a chapter on collective bargaining in the new book Labor and Employment Law in Oregon: Private Sector, published by the Oregon State Bar.
Kristin and her co-authors discuss provide a general overview of the good-faith collective bargaining obligation imposed on employers and unions under the National Labor Relations Act (as amended by the Labor-Management Relations Act). Topics covered in their chapter include: the legal standards that the National Labor Relations Board and the federal courts use to determine good-faith bargaining; when the duty to negotiate exists and when the duty is suspended, waived, or terminated; which business entities and which issues are subject to the duty to bargain; and possible structures for bargaining.
The publication is available for preorder now at the Oregon State Bar website.
