The Emory Law Journal will present a one-day labor law symposium at Emory Law School on Friday, April 10.
The event will draw together many of the nation's most recognized academics in the traditional labor law field as well as all five National Labor Relations Board members and the general counsel. With the assistance of professor Michael Z. Green of the Texas A&M University School of Law, the symposium will address the future of the NLRB as an administrative agency at the dawn of its 80th anniversary.
The NLRB symposium will assess the role of the board today, what actions Congress may take with respect to the board and what the future of the board might be. Specifically, the symposium will feature three panels, highlighted below.
