Megann McManus (bio here) is a full-service traditional labor attorney at the law firm Husch Blackwell.

Before becoming a lawyer, Megann majored in theatre and then worked for Actors’ Equity Association as a director in the human resources department. There, she gained a unique and valuable perspective as a manager for a labor union, and she quickly realized that the collective bargaining and contract management process happening behind the scenes was even more interesting than the drama on the stage.

Now, as an attorney working with employers, Ms. McManus has extensive experience in collective bargaining, grievance management, labor arbitration, and union-related litigation, including matters before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), as well as public sector litigation.

In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, Ms. McManus joins host Peter List to discuss the little-known subject of Deauthorization Elections, wherein private-sector workers in states without right-to-work laws can vote to ‘deauthorize’ required dues payments under a union security clause.
