Biden Administration Labor Law Initiatives Swept Away
The Dorsey Health Law blog team keeps readers up-to-date on relevant topics in the health care industry. In order to do so, the members of the blog team communicate regularly with other practice groups within the firm for applicable updates from client publications. For this post, we would like to thank Dorsey’s Jack Sullivan, Nisha Verma, and Sam Richter for the following e-newsletter update:
In a widely expected move, Acting National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) General Counsel William Cohen rescinded a range of Biden Administration labor-law policies, including high-profile directives that targeted non-competition agreements as unlawful under the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) and that increased the financial penalties that could be imposed on employers accused of violating the NLRA.
Employers with union and non-union workplaces alike should take note, as the changes will have an immediate impact on how NLRB regional offices investigate and prosecute unfair labor practice charges filed by individuals and unions.
