NLRB Member Hirozawa indicates that the Board is Poised For an Active and Productive 2014:





NLRB Board Member Kent Y. Hirozawa recently shared with the attendees of Epstein, Becker & Green, New York, NY’s 32nd Annual Client Labor and Employment Briefing his views on the current Board and what to expect from it.

Hirozawa’s discussed areas where the Board was likely to focus in the coming months and well into 2014.  Specifically, he noted that Chairman Pearce was likely to drive the Board back towards rule-making.  The Board has previously attempted to impose a requirement that employers post a Notice of Employee Rights but the rule was rejected by the Courts.  A new fully confirmed Board may take another stab at it.

Hirozawa specifically noted that the Board is likely to readdress election procedure regulations.  Now with a fully confirmed Board, employers need to beware of what new election regulations might look like.

Employers should expect the frequency of Board decisions to pick- up significantly. Additionally, with rule-making back on the front-burner, employers should examine their employee relation’s strategies and programs.  In what seems to be a recurring theme with GMCS clients over the last 90 days, all employers should take a close look at their policies and work rules from a Section 7 perspective.
