"Returning to the clear and unmistakable waiver standard better serves the pro-bargaining policy of the Act." — Chairman Lauren McFerran.

Black text over a white background reads, "Today's decision makes clear that an employer has the obligation to bargain over changes to wages and working conditions, unless the union expressly yields its right to bargain over an employer's decision." - Chairman Lauren McFerran."

The Board explained that the return to the “clear and unmistakable waiver” standard better accomplishes the central statutory policy goal of the National Labor Relations Act: to promote industrial peace by “encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining.”

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

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.

110

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

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.

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

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 better protects workers’ freedom to make their own choices in exercising their rights under the Act, while ensuring that employers can convey their views about unionization in a noncoercive manner.”-Chairman McFerran

A quote graphic. White text over a navy blue background reads, "Ensuring that workers can make a truly free choice about whether they want union representation is one of the fundamental goals of the National Labor Relations Act. Captive-audience meetings - which give employers near-unfettered freedom to force their message about unionization on workers under threat of discipline or discharge - undermine this important goal." - Chairman McFerran.

0479

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Employers are, however, free to hold meetings expressing their views on unionization so long as workers are informed in advance about the topic of the meeting, that the meeting is voluntary, and that no attendance will be taken.

3️⃣: Required attendance lends a coercive character to the message regarding unionization that employees are forced to receive. It demonstrates the employer’s economic power and reasonably tends to inhibit employees from acting freely in exercising their rights.

1254

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

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.

1263

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

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.

1283

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

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...

Red text over a white background reads, "Board Rules Captive-Audience Meetings Unlawful." Next to the text is a photo of five employees seated listening to their boss give a presentation.

“The rule that we return to today brings greater consistency to the Board’s approach in evaluating potentially threatening statements,” said Chairman Lauren McFerran.

A quote from Chairman McFerran saying: By evaluating employer predictions regarding unionization in a careful and case-specific manner, the Board better protects workers’ right to make a free and fair choice about union representation while respecting an employer’s prerogative to share their views in a non-coercive manner.

020

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

If an employer’s prediction is not grounded in objective fact or predicts negative consequences that would result from the employer’s own actions, it is “no longer a reasonable prediction based on available facts, but a threat of retaliation based on misrepresentation and coercion.”

240

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

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.

National Labor Relations Board @nlrbgov.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

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 👇

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...

While more union election petitions are being filed and the Agency is processing them faster, the NLRB is facing a severe funding crisis.

A quote graphic. Black text over a light background reads, "The Board has made it a priority to resolve representation cases quickly and fairly. But additional resources are necessary to enable the NLRB to expand staffing capacity and ensure that the workers, employers, and unions that rely on our agency benefit from timely elections." - Chairman McFerran.

As has been the case for the last several years, however, the Board’s case processing achievements were overtaken by a significant jump in case intake, ending FY2024 with 288 pending cases — 46% more than the 197 pending cases at the end of FY 2023.
