Flip-Flop: NLRB Reverses Course (Again) On Standard For Evaluating Offensive Employee Conduct (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In one of its first major decisions under its new Republican majority, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) has again rejected “setting-specific standards” for analyzing when offensive employee conduct loses the protection of the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA” or “Act”). In Lion Elastomers LLC, 375 NLRB No. 41 (2026) (“Lion Elastomers III”), issued September 23, 2026, the Board restored the familiar Wright Line burden-shifting framework for determining whether protected a

On September 2, 2026, in Siren Retail Corp., d/b/a Starbucks Reserve Roastery v. NLRB, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated and remanded the National Labor Relations Board’s (“NLRB” or “Board”) 2024 decision finding that Starbucks unlawfully prohibited workers at a Manhattan coffee shop from wearing union pins and shirts.

UPDATE: D.C. Circuit Strikes Down NLRB Successor Bar In Major Post-Loper Bright Ruling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On July 21, 2026, the D.C. Circuit issued a significant post-Loper Bright decision rejecting the National Labor Relations Board’s (“Board”) successor-bar doctrine.

The ruling is among the

As we reported here, on April 13, 2026, President Trump nominated James Macy to fill the third vacant Republican seat on the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or the “Board”). On July 15, 2026, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (“HELP”) Committee approved President Trump’s nomination of James Macy as a new Republican Member of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or the “Board”). Macy’s nomination and Prouty’s renomination now await a Senate confirmation vote. Although

Read excerpt
On May 1, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacated a Section 10(j) injunction issued by a district court in Kerwin v. Trinity Health Grand Haven Hospital, 174 F.4th 942 (6th Cir. 2026). In its first Section 10(j) case since the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Starbucks Corp. v. McKinney, 602 U.S. 339 (2024), the Sixth Circuit applied the traditional four-factor preliminary injunction test and found that the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) failed to demons
