2018 Federal Law Updates to NLRA Workplace Policies
The National Labor Relations Board overruled its 2004 position on “facially neutral” workplace rules. Since 2004, the Board has struck down policies that could be “reasonably construed” by an employee to limit their rights under the NLRA. Under the new rule, the Board will evaluate two things: (1) The nature and extent of the potential impact on NLRA rights, and (2) Legitimate justifications associated with the rule.

2018 Federal Law Updates to NLRA Joint Employment
The National Labor Relations Board has returned to its pre-2015 position on joint employment. In all pending and future cases, two or more organizations will be considered joint employers under the NLRA if one entity has actually exercised control over the essential employment terms of another organization’s employees and has exercised that control directly and immediately in a manner that is not limited and routine.
