52nd Annual Robert Fuchs Labor Law Conference

When:  Feb 12, 2026 from 12:30 PM to 05:00 PM (ET)

The Massachusetts Bar Association's Labor & Employment Section is proud to welcome the legal community to the 52nd Annual Robert Fuchs Labor Law Conference on Feb. 12, 2026, at Suffolk University Law School.

Marvin Kaplan, a former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), is this year’s keynote speaker. Over his eight years on the NLRB, Kaplan participated in over 900 decisions, including those addressing the lawfulness of captive audience speeches and work rules, and the standards for determining the composition of a bargaining unit and whether an individual is an independent contractor. He also helped promulgate several rules, including those defining a joint-employer and laying out procedures governing representation elections. Currently, Kaplan advises clients on labor and employment issues, focusing on union organizing and labor-management relations.

Do not miss this exclusive opportunity to network with colleagues, program faculty, and the leaders of the labor and employment bar.

This year's conference will be hosted in person at Suffolk University Law School. You must register by 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, to attend.

Additional conference faculty to be announced.
