Closing Entry: Shifts in Organizing

Labor and employment partner Matthew Fontana authored an article for NJBIZ titled “Closing Entry: Shifts in Organizing,” which discusses trends behind the increase of union organizing activity and insights for employers as they develop their positions toward unionization.

Fontana focuses on three trends, including 1) unions relying on non-traditional labor entities, 2) social, political and ideological bargaining demands and 3) federal labor law policy seeking to encourage and facilitate union organizing.

Fontana explains that in the new labor relations climate, it is more important than ever for employers to be proactive about unionization and think critically about the course of conduct an employer would take if its employees attempted to organize.
