On August 2, 2023, the
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) adopted a new burden-shifting standard
for evaluating whether work rules infringe upon employees' rights under Section
7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)—
Employers will need to
think carefully about how to defend some of their corporate policies, such as
ones about cameras at a worksite, social media use, and appropriate workplace
conduct, in light of a recent decision by the National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB).
In Stericycle, an
administrative law judge found that the employer violated the NLRA by
maintaining certain policies for its employees that addressed personal conduct,
conflicts of interest, and confidentiality of harassment complaints. The NLRB
announced a new standard for whether work rules violate the NLRA and sent the
case back to the judge to consider the ruling in light of the new standard.
Under that standard, if
an employee could reasonably interpret the work rule to have a coercive
meaning, the NLRB general counsel would have met her burden to prove that the
rule has a reasonable tendency to chill employees from exercising their NLRA
rights.
A code of conduct or other Employee Handbook policies will certainly be
impacted by this decision. Other impacted policies would be nondisclosure
agreements, confidentiality agreements, any policies requiring respectful
conduct, or policies regulating social media use.
Learn how Employers should review and make changes to their Employee
Handbook policies to comply with the NLRB Rules and avoid allegations of
violations of Concerted Activity Laws.
The NLRB enforces the National Labor Relations Act, which
gives both unionized and non-union employees certain rights in the workplace. Find
out how the changes at the NLRB may affect your company and why you might want
to start making changes in your Employee Handbook now.

Why You Should Attend:
Employers should also "immediately
review their policies and handbooks to determine if any of their existing
policies could reasonably be interpreted by employees as chilling their right
to engage in concerted activities and consider adding disclaimers that the
policies are not intended to restrict employees' rights under the NLRA.
The new rule applies
retroactively, so even those employee handbooks drafted and implemented before
the Stericycle decision are subject to this heightened level of scrutiny.
The NLRA protects "concerted
activities" that employees engage in to improve working conditions. What
is Concerted Activity and Why Should Employers Care?
Protected Concerted Activity is a
legal term used in labor policy to define employee protection against employer retaliation
in the United States. The term defines the activities workers may partake in
without fear of employer retaliation.
