Park Avenue Presentations: NLRB Actions in the Non-Union Workplace

NLRB Actions in the Non-Union Workplace

Duration: 90 minutes

Webinar Description

LEmployers of unionized workers know that the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the federal agency that enforces it, the NLRB, have been working overtime these days, investigating employers for various violations of this law. The NLRB has been investigating alleged breaches of federal labor laws involving, among other matters, establishment by employers of social media policies, at-will statements, and internal, confidential investigations.

What many employers don't realize is that the jurisdiction of the NLRB goes well beyond unionized workplaces. The NLRB is empowered to regulate any employer under the guise that there "could be" developing union activity. What this means is that no employer is truly exempt from investigation and enforcement action by the NLRB.

Employment lawyer Deirdre Kamber Todd will discuss in this timely webinar about recent NLRB decisions affecting non-unionized workplaces and the best practices an employer can establish to avoid having the NLRB knock on your door.

Agenda

Discussion of the NLRA, including how it can regulate the conduct of non-union employers
Discussion of recent NLRB decisions that directly affect non-union employers
Best practices that an employer should use to avoid NLRB enforcement, including necessary changes to:
- At-will statements
- Freedom of Speech/Association statements
- Internal workplace investigations
- Social media policies, and
- Other policies that trigger NLRB enforcement
