On October 18, 2023, I presented a complimentary webinar entitled “2023 NLRB Update”. For those who couldn’t attend the live webinar, I’m happy to make it available for you to watch at your convenience.
In the webinar, I discuss:
- Work Rules & Policies
- Election Rules & Results
- Bargaining Rules & Standards
- What’s Next?
and much more!
The National Labor Relations Board enforces the National Labor Relations Act, which applies to most public-sector employers in the United States. This law permits employees to unionize, but also has implications in non-union workforces as well. The NLRB’s interpretation and application of the NLRA fluctuates, typically based on which political party is in the majority on the 5-member Board in Washington. NLRB Board members are appointed by the President to five-year terms, so policy shifts, which primarily occur through adjudicating cases, do not occur immediately upon a change in the White House. But recently, the Board has reversed course on many issues, creating a more burdensome regulatory environment for employers.
Why You Should Watch “2023 NLRB Update”
A series of significant policy changes from the NLRB should have all private employers on alert. For example, many previously commonplace work rules and employee policies may now be found to violate the NLRA. Moreover, changes to the union election rules and related procedures will likely make it harder for employers to oppose union organizing campaigns. Developments regarding collective bargaining rights and obligations are also shifting, as is pertinent to those companies whose employees are already represented by a labor organization.
Much of the most dramatic new caselaw arose in August 2023. The new election rules are scheduled to take effect on December 26, 2023. This webinar discusses what all U.S. businesses should know about the latest from the NLRB. More than ever, employers must be proactive to avoid unfair labor practice charges and representation proceedings.
This webinar also provides insights into recent union election data, trends, and results that aren’t available elsewhere.
