Michael VanDervort published an article on the SHRM website in January examining how federal labor law may be on the verge of significant change.
In Federal Labor Law May Be Headed for Change, VanDervort outlines how shifts at the National Labor Relations Board, combined with proposed legislative reforms, could reshape the rules governing union elections, enforcement priorities, and employer compliance strategies.
The article focuses on what these potential changes mean in practice for HR, employee relations, and labor relations leaders who are navigating an increasingly unsettled regulatory environment.
Why it matters:
Federal labor law has been marked by sharp policy swings in recent years. Understanding the direction of travel matters as much as knowing the current rules. VanDervort’s analysis helps practitioners anticipate where risk, enforcement, and organizing dynamics may be headed next.
