Labor Law

2 credits · Law School

This introductory course will cover the basics of federal labor law: the major rules governing union organizing; labor protest and work stoppages; and collective bargaining; and the structure and functions of the administrative agencies that enforce labor laws. The course will examine emerging and developing issues in labor law through the lens of current campaigns to organize low-wage workers, including the national campaign to organize workers at Starbucks, Amazon, and McDonalds, as well "gig" workers and other workers in the contingent workforce.
