Abstract

Former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board and Stanford Law School Professor Emeritus William B. Gould IV delivered a keynote speech at the Annual Meeting of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the California State Bar. In addition to discussing the merits of private solutions for resolving disputes about union formation, Gould offered ideas on how to best revive and reform the 73-year-old National Labor Relations Act, including bipartisan approaches to revising the Employee Free Choice Act, along with ways the National Labor Relations Board can restore its efficacy and reputation.
