Brandon Magner on Union Elections and the "Laboratory Conditions" Doctrine

Ipse Dixit

In this episode, Brandon Magner, a 2018 graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Law who practices labor-side employment law at the Gath Law Firm in Indianapolis, Indiana, discusses his article "Grand Theft Auto: Calibrating Laboratory Conditions to the New Normal in Union Elections," which will be published in the Concordia Law Review. Magner begins by explaining what a union is, how unions are organized, and how unions are formed. He describes the process of running a union election and why they can be difficult for unions to win. And he explains how certain recent union elections illustrate the need for the National Labor Relations Board to apply the "laboratory conditions" doctrine in order to prevent outside interference on the outcome of union elections.
