In an article about the National Labor Relations Board’s decision in McLaren Macomb, McKnight’s Senior Living cites an insight co-authored by Steven Bernstein and Todd Lyon on what the outcome means for employers in the long-term care industry. In their piece, Steven and Todd explain that severance agreements could once again be deemed unlawful if they could be construed to broadly restrict a worker’s rights to speak about the agreement or otherwise talk negatively about their former employer, among other things. The co-authors explain that the decision is significant because "under the newly resurrected rule, you may be found to have committed an unfair labor practice simply by offering your workers severance agreements with overly restrictive language, even if you don’t seek to enforce them."
