Ronald Kramer authored an article in Law360, “Did The NLRB Just Hand NLRA Successorship To States?”

Ronald Kramer authored an article on September 23 in Law360 on the recent National Labor Relations Board decision in GVS Properties which held that a purchaser employer becomes a Burns successor with an obligation to recognize and bargain with a union when, as required by a local worker retention law, it has to hire the predecessor employer’s employees for a “trial period.” This decision, and the litigation fallout to come over preemption, will have far-reaching consequences for any company interested in possibly purchasing another.
