How to win NLRB cases: tips from a former insider
Article Abstract:
About 3% of the cases filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are resolved through litigation. Most are resolved at the stage of the regional director's actions following an investigation. Statistics show that if a complaint is issued by the regional director, the charging party is very likely to get some relief; however if it is dismissed, the charged party will prevail. Therefore, the best strategy for those wishing to win NLRB cases is to focus on stages up to the regional director's decision. Often the best strategy is to make a good settlement during these early stages.

The late Justice Brennan and American labor law
Article Abstract:
US Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan Jr. was an important player in the development of labor law and usually chose the position of the National Labor Relations Board and the union over the businesses. He supported strikes as a union's most effective economic weapon and opposed the majority position which held that replacement workers' breach-of-contract actions were not preempted by the National Labor Relations Act. Brennan saw unions as the best way for employees to bargain for wage, hour and working condition improvements.

Privileges under the NLRA: attorney-client, work-product, collective bargaining and strike strategy, and mediator
Article Abstract:
The National Labor Relations Board protects communications between attorneys and clients, involving collective bargaining and strike strategy, that are work products and of labor mediators. These privileges are extended because the Board recognizes the importance of protecting labor attorneys and mediators's roles as well as communication between a union and its members. The Board's position is consistent with the National Labor Relations Act, Federal Rules of Evidence and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
