About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will examine the impact that the Trump administration will have on labor regulation. The panel will examine the new administration's policymaking priorities, the status of current regulations/initiatives and which are most likely to be targeted for rollback, and what may be expected from new agency/Board leadership and rulemaking moving forward.
Description
With the immediate action taken by the new administration against NLRB personnel, and with the appointment of a new GC, another wide-ranging change in scope of labor policy and enforcement is to be expected. While the changes will likely mean more employer-friendly rules, counsel should be prepared to assist clients with ongoing compliance challenges during the transition.
Even though there may be significant policy changes, especially after notable decisions (e.g., Cemex and Stericycle) and rulemaking under the Biden administration, employer obligations under the NLRA continue. This webinar will examine anticipated policy shifts under the new NLRB and what may remain unchanged in relation to union elections, ULP charges, employer policies and agreements, and rulemaking among other things.
Listen as our expert panel provides insights and projections on how the new Trump administration will impact labor policy. The panel will also discuss strategies for helping clients navigate this evolving regulatory landscape.
