If you think the decisions and actions taken by the National Labor Relations Board apply only to unionized workplaces, think again. The NLRB exercises significant authority over non-union employers in several ways — enacting changes designed to make it easier for employees to organize in the workplace.
Our own Phil Wilson recently covered these issues and developments in a webinar he did with labor and employment attorney Charlie Plumb of McAfee & Taft. They gave an update for employers entitled Unions, Union Avoidance, and the Labor Board: What’s in Store for Employers.
Check out a short preview in the video below:
Topics covered in the webinar include:
• Applicability of labor laws and the NLRB to non-union employers, including initiatives about handbooks and policies, employee monitoring, free speech, severance, non-compete and confidentiality agreements.
• Current and proposed changes, both big and small, aimed at making union organizing easier
• The importance of being proactive — and being “Left of Boom” — when it comes to union avoidance
• The common denominator for successful union campaigns … and what employers can do to reduce their vulnerability
