    #WorkforceWednesday: Biden’s Final Labor Moves

    This week, we're highlighting several last-minute changes from federal agencies before the Trump administration takes office. These include the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB’s) recent ban on captive audience meetings, a federal judge's decision to vacate the Department of Labor's (DOL’s) overtime rule, and the return of Wage and Hour Division opinion letters. NLRB Outlaws Captive Audience Meetings On November 13, 2024, the NLRB outlawed captive audience meetings, overturning nearly 80 years of precedent and removing a widely used tool for employers. Employers may still hold such meetings, but employee attendance cannot be mandatory. Federal Judge Strikes Down DOL Overtime Rule Earlier this year, the Biden administration's DOL released a final rule raising the salary threshold for overtime pay. On November 15, 2024, a federal judge in Texas vacated this overtime rule nationwide, not only preventing future increases from taking effect but also retroactively nullifying the increases implemented in July. The Return of Wage and Hour Opinion Letters We saw more last-minute action this month with the sudden return of Wage and Hour Division opinion letters. One such letter addresses overtime calculations, and the other details the use of leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. During his first term, President Trump issued about 80 letters, whereas President Biden, following President Obama's approach, has released only four, including the two this month.

    #WorkforceWednesday: What a Trump Win Means for Unions

    This week, we're analyzing how the upcoming Trump administration may affect National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) policies and enforcement priorities promoting union activity, recent court decisions on union protections, and high-profile strikes and evolving worker demands. NLRB Limits Employer Statements on Union Impact The Biden administration and the NLRB have been aggressive in pursuing policies and enforcement priorities that promote activity. Just last week, in a case involving Starbucks, the NLRB overturned a 40-year precedent to restrict employers’ ability to describe the consequences of unionization to employees. The incoming administration can make some immediate changes here, such as replacing the NLRB General Counsel, but replacing board members takes more time, and other factors beyond executive policy impact the organizing environment.  Courts Limit and Expand Protections The courts have both limited and expanded protections for union organizing. For example, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit revived a pilot union lawsuit for retaliation against union activity based on recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent. On the other hand, several  cases challenging the way NLRB members are appointed are working their way through the courts, setting up the possibility that President Trump could have a more immediate policy impact. Boeing Strike Highlights New Union Demands High-profile strikes and work stoppages could also impact future union activity, such as the recent Boeing strike. These labor actions could continue during the new administration as workers push for more benefits and protections.

    #WorkforceWednesday: Mental Health Parity Rules, NLRB Restrictions, New York's Workplace Violence Prevention Law

    This week, we’re examining the final mental health parity rules, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) memo on restrictive covenant limitations, and New York State’s recently enacted workplace violence prevention law. Final Mental Health Parity Rules Released The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury recently issued final rules implementing new requirements and amending existing regulations under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). The new rules further MHPAEA’s goal of ensuring equal benefits for mental and physical treatment. NLRB General Counsel Seeks to Expand Limits on Restrictive Covenants NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo released a memo earlier this month focused on further limits to restrictive covenants. According to the memo, the NLRB will seek expanded make-whole remedies for workers who allegedly miss job opportunities due to noncompete agreements they were required to sign. Abruzzo also condemned so-called “stay-or-pay” agreements. New York Enacts Workplace Violence Prevention Law New York State recently enacted the Retail Worker Safety Act, requiring retail employers to adopt a workplace violence prevention policy, implement workplace violence training for employees, and more.
