You May Not Have a Union, but the NLRB is Still Watching 
Presenter: Joshua H. Viau

The NLRB has created new rights for nonunion employees. Recent months have seen near endless National Labor relations Board (NLRB) and USDOL challenges to employee handbooks and rules. Reasonable and long-standing practices about solicitation, professionalism, confidentiality, harming the company’s reputation and discipline have resulted in the NLRB ordering back wages and reinstatement for employees even when no union was involved. This presentation will provide attendees with a checklist of how to remain in compliance.
