This casebook adopts a truly modern approach to labor law in the United States, introducing students to the subject as it is practiced today. It is built around two important trends; the shift of union density from the private sector to the public sector and the growth of organizing outside the NLRA process. The third edition adds a new coauthor, Richard F. Griffin, Jr., who served as the NLRB's General Counsel under President Obama. It also includes the numerous changes in private-sector labor law made by the NLRB under President Trump, Janus v. AFSCME, and more.

The second edition of the Document Supplement, originally published in 2016, continues to be current and can be used as a suporting text for the casebook.
