Labor Relations Vice Chair Breaks Down the Top Labor Law Decisions from First Half of 2026

In an article published by Law360, Joshua Nadreau shared his insights on the most significant labor law decisions from the first half of 2026. Josh noted that with Biden-era precedent still on the books and the NLRB lacking a full quorum, “it just creates a very frustrating place for a lot of employers to be”. He also highlighted that even without outright reversals, the current board has shown a willingness to narrow the reach of prior decisions, and he flagged that the Seventh Amendment analysis in one recent ruling raises fundamental questions about whether unfair labor practice charges could eventually be subject to jury trials. He went on to explain that if this development gains traction, it would “require significant congressional action to restore some level of federal preemption and federal supremacy over labor law.”
