Details
On August 2, 2023, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) implemented a new standard for evaluating whether workplace rules impinge on employees' rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). This new standard requires employers to carefully consider their corporate policies, particularly those concerning matters such as worksite cameras, social media usage, and workplace behavior, in light of recent developments.
In the Stericycle case, an administrative law judge found the employer in violation of the NLRA due to certain policies regarding personal conduct, conflicts of interest, and confidentiality of harassment complaints. The NLRB's adoption of a new standard necessitates a reevaluation of workplace rules. Under this standard, if an employee could reasonably interpret a rule as coercive, the NLRB may find it to have a chilling effect on employees' exercise of their NLRA rights.This decision impacts various aspects of corporate policies, including codes of conduct, Employee Handbook policies, nondisclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements, policies on respectful conduct, and those governing social media usage.
Employers must review and potentially amend their Employee Handbook policies to align with the new NLRB rules and prevent allegations of violating laws concerning concerted activity. The NLRA safeguards the rights of both unionized and non-union employees, making it crucial for companies to understand how changes at the NLRB could affect their operations. Taking proactive measures to revise policies now can help ensure compliance and mitigate legal risks in the future.

· Learn what policies are at risk of violating the new NLRB Laws
· Learn how you can prepare for the changes before you are violated for non-compliance.

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.
