SUMMARY:Public Sector Labor Law with Howie Lenow
DESCRIPTION:I am pleased to once again offer a Labor Guild class focused on public sector labor law. \nIn this five-session class\, we will explore the basic structure of public sector labor law in Massachusetts and how to make use of other statutory remedies to be a more effective public sector union officer or activist. I have attached a packet of publicly available documents that will serve as a guide for the substantive law that we will review and will hopefully serve as a reference for you after the class is completed.  The outline of classes below is a general guide\, but we will be flexible depending upon class interests and progress in each class. \nClass One:  The basics of the Massachusetts Collective Bargaining Statute\, M.G.L. c. 150E. \nClass Two:  Information Wars:  How to obtain information from public employers under the Mass. Public Records Act and M.G.L. c. 150E. \nClass Three:  The Constitutional Rights of Public Employees:  Speech\, Privacy and Due Process. \nClass Four:  Negotiations in the public sector. \nClass Five:  Grievances and Arbitration in the public sector. \n  \nInstructor: Howard B. Lenow\, Founding Partner\, Lenow & McCarthy \n
