Unions and Leave Requirements: Examining How the Patchwork of Paid Sick Leave Laws Impacts Collective Bargaining Under the RLA and NLRA

Seyfarth Shaw LLP

The patchwork of state and local paid sick leave laws is constantly changing and evolving, but many employers with unionized workers aren’t fully considering how these changes affect them. It can be costly to assume you are exempt from these changes, and with heightened strike and organizing activity expected in Air and Rail industries next year, and steady increases in paid leave litigation and enforcement, no one can afford to overlook these mandates. 

Join our Leaves of Absence Management and Accommodation and Traditional Labor Teams for a joint webinar exploring state and local paid sick leave laws, and how they apply to unions. Our experienced panel will provide insight into how these mandates, and related attendance policy considerations impact unionized workforces with a special look at Air and Rail employers, and much more. We will also delve deeper into the pitfalls of these laws, the obligations they bestow on employers, and what developments are on the horizon.

Specific topics our panel will cover include:

• Top trends in recent paid sick leave laws,
• How these laws address unions, including a discussion on potentially available exemptions in select jurisdictions and considerations for company attendance policies,
• The impact of paid sick leave mandates and developments in organized workplaces,
• How Air and Rail employers should approach these mandates,
• Where leave laws are heading and what we can expect in the future.
