Government

Overview: 

This webinar will focus on the evolving landscape of labor law as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) undergoes significant transformations under the leadership of a new General Counsel and a soon-to-be-reconstructed Republican-majority Board. During her tenure as General Counsel, Jennifer Abruzzo successfully pursued many pro-Union and pro-employee initiatives and effectively reshaped labor relations. But with a changing political environment, many policies and positions Abruzzo favored are expected to be revisited or rolled back. This hour-long session, led by Wiggin and Dana’s labor and employment attorneys, will explore the critical NLRB decisions issued during the Biden administration that are most vulnerable to a fresh look. The goal is to equip employers, HR professionals, and legal teams with insights into the shifting legal landscape and the potential impacts on their organizations. 

Learning Objectives: 

Review significant changes to NLRB policy, including the re-expansion of union rights, social media policies, and worker protections. 

Discuss the revised approach to employer conduct during union organizing, bargaining, and unfair labor practices. 

Anticipated Rollbacks and Shifting Priorities 

What Abruzzo-era initiatives might be rolled back with new leadership or changes in the NLRB’s composition. 

Specific initiatives under review 

Practical Implications for Employers and HR Professionals Anticipated compliance challenges for businesses. 

Actionable steps for employers to prepare for potential changes. 

Strategies for adapting to a dynamic NLRB and potential outcomes of new or revised policies.
