Labor Board Overrules Obama-Era Decisions

OMA Connections Partner, Calfee, posted this good news for employers: “In a remarkable two days, the National Labor Relations Board – firmly in Republican control – slugged a grand slam, issuing four decisions which overrule Obama-era precedents which had favored unions and troubled employers. On December 14 and 15, 2017, in a series of 3-2 decisions divided along party lines, the Board reversed rulings made by the Obama Board in four key areas:

Joint employer status

Employee handbook rules

Micro-units

Unilateral changes to conditions of employment”
