Raimondo and navigating a new legal landscape that challenges decades of established administrative law regarding agency interpretations of federal laws. Michael Nail (Greenville) and Sarah Gable (Columbia) reflect on the impact of Loper Bright and the potential impact this will have on labor and employment law issues: https://bit.ly/41Hp6u8 #employmentlaw

Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) restored the “clear and unmistakable” waiver standard for evaluating whether an employer made unlawful unilateral changes without first giving the union notice and an opportunity to bargain. Under the new standard, the NLRB requires specificity in contract language to demonstrate that a union has clearly waived its right to bargain. This ruling effectively makes it more challenging to rely on general management rights clauses and increases unfair labor practice (ULP) risk. Thomas Stanek (shareholder, Phoenix) and Zachary Zagger (senior marketing counsel, New York) give an overview of this ruling and discuss next steps for employers: https://bit.ly/4gvFZvO #employmentlaw #laborlaw
