In this episode of the Labor Law Insider, attorneys Adam DoerrTrecia Moore, and host Tom Godar continue their discussion of decertification petitions, focusing on some of the practical implications related to decertification efforts, including:

  • Employers may consider withdrawal of union recognition based on loss of majority support, bolstered by a decertification petition, but face risks in doing so.
  • Employers continue to have free speech rights in a decertification campaign but may opt for a softer approach for a variety of reasons.
