BBA CLE: Labor Law Issues in the Healthcare Arena - at BBA; Register
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. |
