Social Media and the National Labor Relations Act
For over a year, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been taking employers to task for intruding too far into employees' social media activities. The NLRB's enforcement actions have provided a well-publicized reminder that the protections of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) are alive and well, applying with as much force to employees' use of social media as to picketing or other traditional forms of collective activity, and to both non-union and unionized workforces.
The NLRB's activity in this area has important consequences for employers. While employers may seek to regulate what employees may or may not say in their social media postings, this objective may be at odds with current NLRB authority. When considering the likelihood of enforcement action, it is noteworthy that the NLRB has taken action against employers ranging from large corporations to small businesses and non-profits. This underscores that the NLRB's enforcement priorities are not limited to any single organizational profile.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
