Legal Updates Impacting HR
w/
Josh Leadford - Shareholder, Masud Labor Law
Josh is back with a labor law update!! Since his May 2023 labor and employment law seminar, there have been a number of rulings and developments from the NLRB that serve to advance a pro-union agenda. In addition to discussing the new I-9 form, Josh will discuss key issues raised by the NLRB and how they pose a serious threat to non-union workplaces. Indeed, think the only way a union can take hold in your organization is to win a secret ballot election? Think again. As always, Josh will remain available to answer questions and engage in interactive discussion over this important topic.
Josh Leadford is a partner with Masud Labor Law Group and joined the firm in 2011. He focuses his practice exclusively on representing management in labor and employment law matters. During his tenure, Josh has successfully defended employers in numerous arbitrations, unfair labor practicecases, discrimination claims, other labor and employment related matters, and provides first chair representation in collective bargaining matters. Josh is admitted to practice in
all state and federal courts for the State of Michigan, including the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Before beginning his legal career, Josh gained significant experience dealing with labor and employment related issues. He worked for a unionized employer as a supervisor and confronted labor issues head on. The workplace division between management and union proved intriguing and thereafter, Josh focused his education on employment related matters earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resource Management from Central Michigan University. After graduating from Central Michigan, Josh began law school and was selected for a clerkship with the Michigan
Employment Relations Commission where he worked directly in the contentious area of public sector labor law. Josh graduated from Thomas M.
