Labor Relations
The standards for determining joint employer status under federal labor law will remain unchanged after a federal district court vacated an NLRB final rule just three days before it would have taken effect.
New federal statistics show a dramatic increase in the number of labor strikes and strike participants last year, illustrating the growing influence and positive outlook for unions.
Implementation of a rule that would significantly increase the number of employers considered joint employers under the NLRA has been pushed back two weeks by a federal district court.
Employers that are confronted with a union demand for recognition should expect a process weighted much more in favor of unions, according to new guidance issued by the NLRB General Counsel clarifying questions about the Cemex standard.
The NLRB issued a long-anticipated final rule that substantially increases the number of employers who may be deemed joint employers.
In the nation's first application of the NLRB's Cemex standard, an administrative law judge ordered an employer to bargain with a union after the union lost a representation election, based on the employer's unlawful labor practices.
The NLRB has issued several rulings recently that change labor relations standards to be more favorable to unions and employees.
A new law makes New York the sixth state to prohibit employers from requiring employees to attend anti-union "captive audience meetings."
The NLRB's Cemex ruling upends the process for requesting union elections in place for more than 50 years and is expected to make it easier for unions to win recognition as employees' bargaining representatives.
The NLRB has returned to an old standard under which work rules that do not explicitly target workers' rights may still be found to violate federal labor law if workers would "reasonably construe" them to bar organizing.
