- Today, President Biden designated Gwynne A. Wilcox as Chair of the National Labor Relations Board. www.nlrb.gov/news-outreac...
- Thank you for your service, Chairman McFerran!
- Today, the Board restored the “clear and unmistakable” waiver standard for evaluating employers’ defenses to claims that they unlawfully changed working conditions of union-represented employees without giving the union notice and opportunity to bargain. www.nlrb.gov/news-outreac...
- Today’s decision in Endurance Environmental Solutions, LLC restores that standard, previously followed by the Board for more than 70 years and endorsed by the Supreme Court.
- In Endurance, the Board overruled MV Transportation, Inc., 368 NLRB No. 66 (2019), in which an earlier Board had adopted the “contract coverage” test, which made it easier for employers to avoid engaging in collective bargaining over workplace changes.

- Happy Thanksgiving from the NLRB! 🦃🍂 Today we’re grateful for the hardworking individuals across the country who contribute to our communities every day. As we gather with loved ones, we also celebrate the rights of workers to come together and have a voice in the workplace.
- The NLRB today announced the appointment of Administrative Law Judges Geoffrey Carter and Michael Rosas as Associate Chief Judges to help administer the Washington, D.C. office of the Judges Division. They will assume their new duties at the beginning of December. www.nlrb.gov/news-outreac...
- Today, the Board ruled that, going forward, an employer will violate the National Labor Relations Act by requiring employees to attend “captive-audience” meetings in which the employer expresses its views on unionization under threat of discipline or discharge. www.nlrb.gov/news-outreac...
- The Board explained why captive audience meeting interfere with employees’ rights 👇 1️⃣: They violate an employee’s right under Section 7 of the Act to freely decide whether, when, and how to participate in a debate concerning union representation, or refrain from doing so.
- 2️⃣: Captive audience meetings provide a mechanism for an employer to observe and surveil employees as it addresses the exercise of employees’ Section 7 rights.

- On #VeteransDay, the NLRB honors the dedication and service of our veterans. We recognize the important role veterans play in our workforce and are committed to ensuring they have the rights and protections they deserve. Happy Veterans Day, and thank you to all who have served!
- Today, the Board issued a decision in Siren Retail Corp. dba Starbucks clarifying the test that it will use to evaluate whether an employer’s predictions about the impacts of unionization on its relationship with individual employees are unlawful threats. www.nlrb.gov/news-outreac...
- The Board overruled Tri-Cast, which had deemed most employer statements about the impact of unionization on the relationship between individual employees and their employer to be categorically lawful. Now 👇
- The Board will analyze such statements under the same longstanding test it uses to evaluate other potentially threatening or coercive statements. This approach is grounded in the Supreme Court’s decision in NLRB v. Gissel Packing Co.
