The NLRB under Trump: Key Changes & Anticipated Shifts

Overview: 

This webinar will focus on the evolving landscape of labor law as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) undergoes significant transformations under the leadership of a new General Counsel and a soon-to-be-reconstructed Republican-majority Board. During her tenure as General Counsel, Jennifer Abruzzo successfully pursued many pro-Union and pro-employee initiatives and effectively reshaped labor relations. But with a changing political environment, many policies and positions Abruzzo favored are expected to be revisited or rolled back. This hour-long session, led by Wiggin and Dana’s labor and employment attorneys, will explore the critical NLRB decisions issued during the Biden administration that are most vulnerable to a fresh look. The goal is to equip employers, HR professionals, and legal teams with insights into the shifting legal landscape and the potential impacts on their organizations.
