PUBLIC EMPLOYEE LABOR LAW (LABR8108)
3 credits. Lecture.

This course studies the law of union organization, collective bargaining and the enforcement of collective bargaining agreements between unions and public sector employers. Established by state statute in conjunction with constitutional rights, public employee labor law treats the strike prohibition and alternatives to the strike as a means to make collective bargaining effective. While the course will look to the diverse responses of the federal system, some emphasis will be given to New Jersey law.
