Non-Union Companies Like Yours Avoiding the Wrath of the NLRB
Rod Tanner
Tanner and Associates, P.C.
In recent years there have been many significant developments under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and it can be challenging for employers to closely monitor every new development. Each case decided by the National Labor Relations Board or a federal court can have a major impact on an employer’s HR policies and practices.
Mr. Tanner’s presentation will highlight some important recent developments under the NLRA that impact non-union employers, including the NLRB’s expansive view on protected concerted activities in the age of social media. For example, on August 22, 2014, the NLRB ruled in Triple Play Sports Bar & Grill that an employee’s “Liking” of another employee’s work-related Facebook post constituted protected concerted activity, and that the employer violated the Act by discharging those employees because of their participation in this online exchange. Mr. Tanner will also address recent decisions affecting confidentiality and internal investigation policies in the workplace.
