Mastering Labor Law combines a clear, accessible introduction to core labor law doctrine with up-to-the-minute coverage of the most significant recent developments in both the courts and the NLRB, making it equally valuable in the classroom and in practice.

  • Accessible, jargon-free introduction to public and private sector labor law
  • Complete coverage of the National Labor Relations Act — history, procedures, and jurisdiction
  • In-depth treatment of union organizing, collective bargaining, and Section 7 rights
  • Advanced coverage of labor arbitration, union security clauses, and federal preemption
  • Covers the intersection of labor law and antitrust — essential for advanced practice
  • Current through the early second Trump administration — more up-to-date than any competing labor law text

Whether you're encountering labor law for the first time or deepening your expertise, Mastering Labor Law walks you through every essential topic in a logical, well-structured progression:

Foundations of Labor Law

  • How labor law differs between the public sector and private sector
  • History and development of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)
  • NLRB jurisdiction, procedures, and enforcement framework
  • Key labor law concepts every law student needs to master

Core Labor Law Doctrine

  • Union organizing — election procedures, employer and union conduct, and recognition
  • Collective bargaining — good faith bargaining obligations, mandatory vs. permissive subjects, and impasse
  • Section 7 protected activity — what workers can and cannot do under federal labor law
  • Unfair labor practices — charges, investigations, and remedies under the NLRA

Advanced Labor Law Topics

  • Labor arbitration — grievance procedures, arbitrability, and the relationship between arbitration and the courts
  • Union security clauses — dues, fees, and the post-Janus legal landscape
  • Federal preemption — how the NLRA limits state labor law
  • Labor law and antitrust — the critical intersection between competition law and collective action
