Webinar: Labor Relations During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Unionized businesses face unique challenges as it relates to the effects of COVID-19. Our labor group has fielded continual questions from clients nationally regarding ways to navigate these ongoing and evolving issues -- from union employees walking off the job to government loans requiring union neutrality, and constantly shifting work rules. In this Vorys at Work webinar on April 15, 2020, Vorys attorneys Dan Clark, Michael Ball and Akilah Craig answered the questions they are frequently fielding from unionized clients and provided tips to reduce risk during these unprecedented times. Specific topics discussed included:
- Protected Activity: Can employees refuse to work due to safety concerns?
- Impact of CARES Act: The CARES Act offers loans and assistance to business large and small.
- Duty to Bargain: The Coronavirus pandemic is requiring dramatic changes to policies, procedures and work rules.
