State and local laws legalizing recreational and medical marijuana have been “growing like a weed.” More and more of the population (including an increasing percentage of the workforce) is now legally using marijuana. This dynamic is forcing employers to make tough choices regarding whether to continue workplace drug tests that include marijuana or to eliminate those tests in the face of a tight labor pool for skilled employees and other workers. In this webinar, the speakers will discuss the current state of the law and the options employers have to respond. The speakers will also address the practical considerations related to workplace safety and the impact of federal and state OSHA oversight and obligations.

Though most union-free organizations hope to avoid bargaining altogether, collective bargaining skills are essential for business success when an employer has some unionized locations. These skills can also play an important role in the effort to remain union-free elsewhere. In this installment of the Labor Law Foundation Series, the speakers will review key bargaining concepts (including mandatory versus permissive subjects of bargaining, requests for information, proposal development, status quo/unilateral change, and impasse) and negotiation strategies. The speakers will also share practical tips on how to manage common collective bargaining scenarios, as well as cover responses to aggressive union leverage tactics, such as strikes, picketing, and corporate campaigns.
