Labor Union Law and Regulation with 2009 Cumulative Supplement organizes and clarifies the widely varying laws and regulations governing labor unions. This treatise is written by seasoned practitioners who provide incisive analysis and valuable guidance as they explore every facet of labor union law.

This treatise differs from the traditional approach to labor union law that organizes the subject by statutes and, instead, arranges chapters to address the various federal and state regulations by reference to a particular subject or function of operation. This approach facilitates a clearer, more practical understanding of this complex area of the law and the interaction of its various requirements.

The 2009 Supplement to Labor Union Law and Regulation includes:

• Decisions interpreting the scope of the free speech protections of LMRDA Sec. 101(a)(2)
• Decisions holding that statutory LMRDA rights are "extortable" tangible property under the     Hobbs Act
• Decisions applying the criminal provisions of LMRDA Sec. 501(c) to misuse of ballots and campaign materials in union election
• The Supreme Court's 2009 fair representation/arbitration/discrimination decision in 14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett

Labor Union Law and Regulation with 2009 Cumulative Supplement is the only book of this magnitude covering laws and regulations affecting the union, its members, and other represented employees.

The Editor-in-Chief is William W. Osborne. Mr. Osborne, of Osborne Law Offices, P.C. in Washington, DC, has engaged in the practice of union-side labor law and employee representation since 1976.

Section publications provide a balanced forum for the views and professional development of practitioners in labor and employment law. For more information on Section participation, call the Section at (312) 988-5813 or visit http://www.abanet.org/labor/home.html.
