In a recent decision that will impact many corporations and law firms, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on August 2, 2023, issued a landmark ruling in the case of Stericycle, Inc., 372 NLRB No. 113 (2023). This ruling introduces a new standard for evaluating whether a company’s workplace rules violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
The decision directly tackles the frequent ambiguities that often emerge when assessing the legality of workplace rules under the NLRA. It sets a precedent for future evaluations by the NLRB, providing a clear benchmark against which companies can measure the compliance of their rules with NLRA provisions.
While the full text of the decision is not yet available for public viewing, its implications are far-reaching and will drastically shape how companies formulate and implement rules in their workplaces going forward.
