Labor and Employment partner Amy Moor Gaylord warned non-union employers that they need to steer clear of opposing protected activities by their employees, with three national employers all having recently faced NLRB charges. The charges for squelching pro-union activity that might not have been brought under the previous administration. Lawyers for management like Gaylord agreed in an article in Law360 that employers can expect the National Labor Relations Board to watch employer activities more closely.
"The board is looking at protected concerted activity,” said Gaylord. “and I think we'll see an expansion of what constitutes protected concerted activity.”
