COVID-19 & the NLRB
Beginning in March 2020, Board Headquarters and Various Regional Offices Announced Closures and Work-From-Home Measures.
On March 12, 2020, the Board announced the closure of its headquarters in Washington, D.C., after learning an employee who was exhibiting cold-like symptoms potentially had been exposed to COVID-19. Just days later, on March 15, the Board announced that its Regional Offices in Manhattan, Detroit, and Chicago would be closed while an employee in each of those offices was tested for the virus.
The Board then implemented telework policies at all four locations out of concern about potential spread of the virus. The telework policy in Washington, D.C., was slated to last through at least Monday, March 16, while the policies in Manhattan, Detroit, and Chicago were indefinite.
