Labor law changed more in the last 3 years than the previous 30.
The NLRB under new leadership reversed decades of precedent. Employers who are managing their workforce the same way they did in 2021 are already exposed — they just don’t know it yet.
Non-union businesses are in scope
The NLRA covers most private employers — union or not. Your at-will policy, severance agreement, or social media policy may now violate federal labor law.
Back pay orders are painful
NLRB remedies include back pay, reinstatement, and notice posting requirements. A single unfair labor practice charge can cost $50K–$200K+ in resolution costs.
Handbooks and policies go stale fast
Three recent NLRB decisions directly affect employee handbook language. If your HR policies haven’t been reviewed in 12 months, you have at least one problematic clause.
The NLRB website is for lawyers
Case decisions run 40–80 pages. The NLRB press releases assume you know what “concerted activity” means. We translate both.
Every major NLRB ruling explained. Every employer implication spelled out.
Our agent monitors NLRB case activity daily and generates plain-English summaries — what the ruling says, what it means for employers, and what you should update in your policies.
Who this affects: Every employer who uses standard severance agreements or onboarding NDAs with broad confidentiality language.
✅ Action steps: (1) Have employment counsel review your severance template. (2) Remove or narrow any clause preventing employees from discussing working conditions. (3) Check onboarding NDAs for similar language.
Takeaway: Employees discussing pay on personal social media or messaging apps is federally protected. Discipline for this will result in back pay + reinstatement orders.
Built for HR managers, business owners, and employment counsel.
