  • NLRB jurisdiction over religiously affiliated institutions
  • The impact of the joint employer standard on relationships
  • The future of "Scabby the Rat" and other union protest symbols
  • Trends in education collective bargaining agreement negotiations
  • Student "employees," such as student-athletes and work-study participants
