Amidst Unionization Trends, What Can Employers Do?
With strikes and unionization efforts appearing in recent news with great frequency, many employers are left wondering, “Am I next?” Though labor organizing creates a tough legal line for employers to walk, there are options to protect your business from union activity. More >
NLRB Time Travels Back to 2014 Rule to Speed Up Union Elections
Once again, the NLRB has taken up time travel, this time reversing a 2019 rule about union election procedures to return to the 2014 “quickie election” rule that allows unions to organize workplaces at lightning speed. More >
NLRB Gets Back in the Time Machine, Reverts to Previous Independent Contractor Test
It’s 2023: do you know who your employees are? If you think you do, think again: the National Labor Relations Board announced in a June 13th decision on the case The Atlanta Opera, Inc., that it is changing its test for determining which workers are independent contractors and which are covered employees, reverting once again to an Obama-era standard. For employers, this means that the potential for running into issues with misclassification and unionization has increased significantly. More >
New NLRB Memo Says Non-Compete Agreements Violate NLRA
Following the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) January proposal to ban non-compete agreements, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a memo stating that non-compete agreements, except in very specific circumstances, violate the National Labor Relations Act. Any employer who uses non-compete agreements, or other agreements that functionally serve as non-competes, should be bracing for impact. More >
NLRB Modifies Test for Bargaining Units, Resurrecting the Dreaded Micro-Unit
On December 14, 2022, the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision in the case American Steel Construction, Inc., modifying the test for determining inclusions in bargaining units. The Board’s decision reverts the test to an Obama-era standard that allows unions to form smaller, easier-to-organize bargaining units known as “micro-units”—the mention of which will send many employers into a panic.

NLRB GC Seeks to End Captive Audience Meetings
In yet another bid to weaken employers’ stance in the face of organized labor, NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo has issued a memo calling for an end to employer-led “captive audience” meetings. This move by the NLRB threatens one of employers’ key tools for curbing unionization in the workplace and is yet another foreboding sign of the Biden administration’s pro-labor agenda. More >
Amazon Workers Vote to Unionize, Paving Way for New Labor Woes for Employers
For the first time in the U.S., an Amazon facility’s workers have voted to unionize. The workers at the Staten Island warehouse “JFK8” voted 2,654-2,131 to be represented by the Amazon Labor Union (ALU). After years of unsuccessful organizing attempts across the country, this breakthrough victory portends a growing labor movement, and employers should be ready for what it may bring. More >
Boeing, Boeing, Gone! NLRB GC Recommends Reversal of Employer Handbook Standards
With any new administration in Washington comes changes to the National Labor Relations Board. From the start, Biden’s NLRB has made clear their goal to reverse the employer-friendly handbook standards established by the Boeing decision, and the General Counsel’s March 7th post-hearing brief includes recommendations that take further steps towards that goal.
