NLRB Gets Busy – Part 2

NLRB Incursion into Non-Unionized Workplace

In January, we told you about recent activity by the National Labor Relations Board that overturned or departed from settled precedent.  As promised, in Part 2 of this Alert series we summarize recent decisions where the Board focused on the non-unionized employer. 

Ironically, on the same day the D.C. Circuit found all actions of the Board to be void because of the recess appointments of three of its members, the Board issued its most far-ranging decision, striking down four mainstream policies issued by DirecTV.  As a result of this decision, every employer needs to review carefully all of its policies that restrict dissemination of Company information or which in any way restrict employee communications.
