This Friday and Saturday, March 26-27, FIU Law Review will host a symposium, entitled Whither the Board? The National Labor Relations Board at 75. The keynote speaker is current NLRB Chair Wilma Liebman, with remarks by Board Member Peter Schaumber. Presenters include Prawf's own Matt Bodie, FIU College of Law Dean (and former Board member) Alex Acosta, and many of the top labor scholars and practitioners.
Kudos and congratulations to my FIU colleague Kerri Stone, and the Law Review editors, for putting together what promises to be a great program.
