In our latest #FMG blog, Thomas Starks explores the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) November 13, 2024 ruling on captive audience meetings, which could significantly alter employers' ability to express their views against unionization.

This may be controversial but... I don't necessarily think increased trade union rights and practices is a good idea. Investing in and embedding effective leadership, having a clear people strategy aligned to business strategy, and following clear communication and feedback channels would be more beneficial. I'm not saying trade unions aren't useful I just feel like this reform is actually a backwards step and will potentially cause more issues between companies and employees. I am sure others will disagree but that's my view. #hrstrategy #hr #employmentreform

The National Labor Relations Board just overturned significant precedent and held that any mandatory meetings at which an employer expresses its views on unionization (a/k/a "captive-audience meetings") are unlawful. This Lawflash by Adam C. Abrams, Kathryn Cronin. and Lauren Emery reviews the decision in detail. #NLRA #NLRB #unionization #wearemorganlewis #laborlaw

What are neutrality and voluntary recognition? "So, what do neutrality and voluntary recognition mean and what are the advantages for workers and employers? Employer neutrality means that the employer stays neutral when workers choose to organize and does not take a position on how workers should vote, either pro or con. Employers who stay neutral are respecting the intent of our labor law, which is for workers to have a free and fair choice on union representation. Voluntary recognition is one of two paths for workers to win union representation at their workplace under U.S. labor law. When a majority of workers sign cards stating that they want union representation, workers can ask their employer to recognize their union without workers having to go through the formal representation election process. It is a quicker process for gaining union representation and beginning negotiations for a contract, and starts the labor-management relationship on more positive footing."

President Joe Biden's actions to reshape the National Labor Relations Board have prompted the NLRB to focus on "expanding and reinterpreting the law to favor unions at the expense of workers and employers alike by advancing an all-encompassing strategy driven by radical rulemakings and decisions."
