This stagnation arose from a lack of a quorum necessary to issue decisions following the removal of former Board member Gwen Wilcox. The Board comprises five members appointed by the President with Senate confirmation. It had been operating with three members, led by a liberal, union-friendly majority including veteran union lawyers Wilcox and David Prouty. However, Wilcox&#8217;s removal left only two members: Chairman Marvin Kaplan and member Prouty, which rendered the Board unable to fulfill its primary function\u2014setting federal labor law and policy through adjudicative decision-making.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the New Board Nominees<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of politics and political affiliations, it is undeniable that both nominees bring substantial traditional labor experience to the Board. Mayer, currently Chief Labor Counsel at a major global enterprise, could introduce a much-needed practical, business perspective to the interpretation and application of the National Labor Relations Act. This is especially desired following years of abstract, ideological decisions disregarding valid business interests and practical workplace realities. Murphy, a career NLRB attorney who has served as chief counsel to Chairman Kaplan, could contribute deep institutional knowledge to the Board\u2019s case law, practice, and procedures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Status of Former Member Wilcox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former Board member Gwen Wilcox remains sidelined after the Supreme Court stayed a court order reinstating her appointment following her removal by the current President. Wilcox continues to challenge the legality of her removal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anticipated Changes with a New Board<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Several cases are ripe for reversal, with the hope of protecting important business interests and restoring key employer rights, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Employer rights to prohibit social justice and political insignia in the workplace<\/strong> by overruling <em>Home Depot USA, Inc.<\/em>, 373 NLRB No. 25 (2024), where the Board protected employees public display of political and social causes on their clothing in the workplace as long as tied to some workplace issue. This dramatically limited employers\u2019 ability to regulate political\/protest insignia in the workplace that can often be a distraction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employer rights to discipline or discharge employees for misconduct in the course of otherwise protected activity<\/strong> by overruling <em>Lion Elastomers<\/em>, 372 NLRB No. 83 (2023), where the Board returned to the setting-specific standards which largely shields employees from disciplinary action for misconduct (e.g., profane, racially inappropriate, and\/or sexually inappropriate comments) in the course of protected concerted activity and\/or union activity. To many, this ruling significantly impairs employers\u2019 ability to maintain respectful, safe, and collegial workplaces even during workplace disagreements or disputes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employers\u2019 interest in setting workplace rules handbook rules<\/strong> by overruling <em>Stericycle, Inc.,<\/em> 372 NLRB No. 113 (2023), where the Board adopted a strict standard for evaluating the lawfulness of workplace rules. Under that standard, facially neutral work rules that may be reasonably interpreted to restrict Section 7 activity are presumptively unlawful. The Board interprets these rules \u201cfrom the perspective of an employee who is subject to the rule, economically dependent on the employer, and contemplates engaging in protected concerted activity.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employers\u2019 interests in including confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions in severance agreements<\/strong> by overruling <em>McLaren Macomb<\/em>, 372 NLRB No. 58 (2023), where the Board invalidated severance agreements that contain broad confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions on the guise that such agreements interfere with employees\u2019 rights under Section 7 of the NLRA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employers\u2019 right to ensure employees have self-determination<\/strong> by overruling <em>Cemex Constr. Materials Pac., L.L.C.,<\/em> 372 NLRB No. 130 (2023), which in some cases compels employers to recognize and bargain with unions without a representation election where employees exercise self-determination.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employer speech protections and campaign rights<\/strong> by overruling Amazon.com, 373 NLRB No. 136 (2024) which outlaws mandatory \u201ccaptive audience\u201d meetings, and <em>Siren Retail Corp. dba Starbucks<\/em>, 373 NLRB No. 135 (2024), which restricts employers\u2019 ability to honestly communicate the practical reality of the impact of unionization on direct employer-employee relationships. Together, those cases attempt to muzzle employers during union organizing campaigns while apparently leaving unions free to say what they want, when they want, and how they want despite the impact on employers, their operations, and their relationships with their employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Status of the NLRB\u2019s Prosecutorial Arm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The agency continues under Acting General Counsel Cowen while the President\u2019s nominee for the agency\u2019s lead prosecutor role, management-side attorney and former NLRB attorney Crystal Carey, undergoes Senate confirmation. Carey is expected to pursue an employer-friendly agenda. Meanwhile, in addition to rescinding a plethora of GC memoranda issued by former GC Jennifer Abruzzo, Acting GC Cowen recently issued GC Memorandum 25-05: <em>Surreptitious Recordings of Collective-Bargaining Sessions as a Per Se Violation of the NLRA<\/em>, which is a welcome breath of fresh air to ensure integrity and good faith in the bargaining process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four Steps Employers Can Take Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/labor-relations-masterclass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8724 alignright\" title=\"Mailchimp Labor Masterclass WordPress 300x158\" src=\"http:\/\/employerdefensereport.connmaciel.stagingarea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-300x158.png\" alt=\"Mailchimp Labor Masterclass WordPress 300x158\" width=\"349\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-1536x807.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-2048x1076.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Mailchimp_Labor-Masterclass-WordPress-1680x882.png 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/a>Comply with Existing Law:<\/strong> Although many of the decisions issued by the previous Board disregard or minimize important business interests and are biased in favor of unions, those decisions are still the law of the land until they are overturned.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consult Experienced Labor Counsel:<\/strong> Engaging experienced labor counsel can help your organization stay updated on legal changes, assess risks, and determine effective strategies for protecting your interests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay Vigilant:<\/strong> Stay informed and dialed into your organization.
