The NLRB at a Crossroads: What Employers Should Know and Be Watching For Now
Labor law is entering a period of significant recalibration. With a new majority now seated at the National Labor Relations Board, employers can expect a reexamination of the aggressive, employee/Union-favorable precedents adopted over the past several years — from joint-employer standards and handbook policy rules to election procedures and remedies for unfair labor practices. At the same time, federal courts continue to weigh in on the Board's authority, enforcement posture, and the constitutionality of its structure, adding another layer of uncertainty for employers trying to plan ahead.
Join members of Quarles' Labor Team for a practical webinar on where things stand and where we anticipate they are headed. We will cover:
- Recent NLRB decisions and General Counsel guidance signaling a shift away from prior-administration precedent
- Key federal court rulings affecting Board authority, injunctive relief under Section 10(j), and administrative law judge proceedings
- Anticipated policy reversals and new rulemaking priorities under the Board majority, including likely targets such as joint-employer status, captive-audience meetings, and election timelines
- What these changes mean for union avoidance strategy, collective bargaining, and day-to-day labor relations practices
- Practical steps employers should take now to prepare for a shifting enforcement landscape
This session is designed for HR leaders, labor relations professionals, and in-house counsel who want to stay ahead of the curve as the regulatory environment evolves. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to help their organizations adapt proactively rather than reactively.
