Basics of Public Sector Labor Law (2008)

Forty years after passage of the Taylor Law and the New York City Collective Bargaining Law, labor-management issues continue to dominate the agendas of municipalities, school districts, and other governmental entities throughout New York State. Other state and local laws have also been enacted that govern the relationship between management and public employee, including those involving issues of discipline and discharge.

This program is designed to provide a basic understanding of the laws that govern public sector labor relations. The program commences with an introduction to and brief history of the Taylor Law. This overview is followed with a range of topics including: collective bargaining and impasse procedures, improper practices and procedures, discipline and discharge of public employees, special ethical considerations from the perspective of attorneys representing management and labor, and a discussion of recent cases and other hot topics.
