This innovative casebook presents a contemporary and practice-focused approach to labor law in the United States, reflecting how the field is experienced by lawyers and workers today. It centers on two major developments shaping modern labor law: the shift in union representation from the private to the public sector, and the growing importance of organizing efforts that take place outside the framework of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

Now in its Third Edition, the book welcomes new coauthor Richard F. Griffin, Jr., former General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board under President Obama. His insights bring valuable practical and institutional perspective to the material. The updated edition also addresses significant developments in labor law, including sweeping changes to private-sector labor doctrine under the Trump-era NLRB and the landmark Supreme Court decision Janus v. AFSCME, which transformed the legal landscape for public-sector unions.

Together, these updates ensure that the casebook remains both timely and grounded in the real-world challenges and transformations facing labor law today.

In addition, the Second Edition of the Document Supplement—originally published in 2016—remains current and continues to serve as a useful companion text, providing key statutory and regulatory materials that support the main casebook.
