Abstract
This case examines the process of good faith bargaining between a labor union and a company. More specifically, this case involves an acquisition and the law of successorship as well as the duty to bargain in good faith and employer lockouts. The behavior of both striking employees and a security firm hired by the company during the lockout are also issues. Further, the acquiring firm has to negotiate a new labor agreement with the employees' union, and the case examines whether the company engages in fair or unfair labor practices as specified in Section 8(a) of the National Labor Relations Act and whether the union engaged in unfair labor practices specified in Section 8(b) of the NLRA. The case has a difficulty level of three, appropriate for junior/senior level students. The case is designed to be taught in one class hour, and is expected to require one or two hours of outside preparation by students.
