LABR 270 Public Sector Labor Law

A survey and analysis of the New York State Public Employees Fair Employment Act and other state laws covering public employees. The course will examine the extent to which the law protects and regulates concerted action by employees in the public sector. The intent is to study and understand the law as written but, more importantly, how it has been interpreted by the courts of New York State in its application. Major emphasis will be employee and employer rights, including recognition and certification, improper practices, strikes, grievances and disciplinary procedures to the New York State Public Employment Relations Board.
