UC Law professor reviews what’s happening with unions
Anne Lofaso, a professor at the UC College of Law and an expert in labor law, discusses a significant drop in union elections as part of a segment on the podcast Bloomberg Law.
The end of collective bargaining for federal workers, changes in the federal wage that is paid to workers and changes in the make-up of the National Labor Relations Board likely play a role in changes in union activity.
Lofaso, a former attorney for the National Labor Review Board, teaches courses in labor law, employment law and constitutional law.
