Course Description:
This sequel to Labor Law will follow the historical growth and development of public sector labor relations, which is the fastest growing, and largest unionized segment of the American workforce. The course will focus on how city, state and federal employment statutes impact public employees and the constitutional protections that government workers enjoy under the U.S. and state constitutions. The course will also analyze several public employment relation laws, which grant collective bargaining rights to government workers in many states.
