With the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) positioned for significant change, employers have a unique opportunity to reassess their labor strategies. As member shifts continue to shape the NLRB’s future, businesses are closely monitoring potential shifts in leadership, enforcement priorities, and precedent.
Join McDermott Will & Schulte’s Employment Group for a discussion examining the current labor landscape, key developments shaping the NLRB’s direction, and considerations for employers navigating an evolving regulatory environment.
Discussion topics will include:
- An overview of the current NLRB landscape, including anticipated leadership changes and enforcement priorities
- Key cases and developments that could reshape labor law, including issues involving severance agreements, workplace rules, union recognition, collective bargaining obligations, and merges and acquisitions developments from the DC circuit
- Practical guidance on assessing risk and opportunity amid changing labor policies, including the potential impact of legislative developments such as the Faster Labor Contracts Act, strategic considerations for employers, and implications for workforce planning
