The Return of the Strike: How to Counter Strikes, Pickets & Boycotts
Workplace activism is on the rise, and work stoppages ranging from labor union-led strikes to spontaneous employee walkouts have been at historic levels. This program will examine what kinds of activity is lawful, and most importantly, how to equip your employer with the best contingency plan to counter the effectiveness of a strike or picketing activity.
Join Fisher Phillips Labor Relations co-chair, Todd Lyon, and attorney Alex Desrosiers for a full-day labor relations program on how to prepare for and succeed in the face of strikes, pickets, and boycotts. Whether a non-union organization or an employer with a longstanding labor relationship – operations managers, human resources leaders, and labor relations managers will learn “where the legal lines are” with respect to the latest strike tactics utilized by organized labor – with one eye on where the law stands today – and another on where it may be going.
The firm is submitting this training for HRCI/SHRM credit. Fisher Phillips will make all reasonable efforts to obtain CLE credit for this program in every state that is relevant to attendee’s MCLE needs. In certain instances, some programs may not be awarded CLE credit because of content, delivery or jurisdictional restrictions.

New Year, New Laws – Los Angeles
Be Prepared for 2019

Governor Brown has signed numerous measures into law that will impact California hoteliers in 2019 and beyond. Don’t wait to prepare. The program presented by labor and employment firm Fisher Phillips LLP will provide a summary of the new laws and will also provide an update on key case developments.
