Article by George Schatzki
More than ever before, major employers in our society are relocating significant parts of their businesses. Often, one of the reasons for these changes is the presence of a labor organization. Whether or not a union is involved, however, the moves have a substantial impact on a wide variety of people and institutions. A question arises: Should the laws that concern themselves with labor-management relations address employer decisions to relocate and the consequences of such decisions? In the following article, I shall briefly set out what I believe labor law has done recently with the problem, what the competing interests of the involved parties are, and what types of solutions may be worth serious consideration.
