The labor environment in the health care industry has become a highly visible and important topic in recent months. In a relatively short time, the industry has seen a number of high profile strikes and threatened-strikes, contract negotiations, and vigorous organizing activity. Many health care lawyers within the industry are rather quickly finding themselves in the midst of the unfamiliar territory of labor law. Simultaneously, long-time labor law practitioners are facing familiar issues, but in the context of a new industry setting that brings its own unique set of concerns.
This program will help both health care and labor lawyers navigate this new environment. Attendees will hear a panel of leading experts from both health care management (including in-house and outside counsel) and labor explain the issues that are driving this dramatic increase in activity.
Topics will include:
- Issues Arising in Current Organizing Efforts/Campaigns,
- Issues Arising in Current Collective Bargaining Relationships, and
- The intersection of labor and health care law: industry-specific problems and concerns.
