Labor Law Today—2019 Year in Review

Perkins Coie is pleased to present the first edition of Labor Law Today—Year in Review, offering a summary of the past year's most noteworthy developments.

During 2019, the current National Labor Relations Board (the Board) majority became more active, beginning to overrule decisions handed down during the Obama administration and restoring decades of precedent.

In addition to rolling back many of the 2014 election rule changes and reinforcing the rejection of micro-unit organizing, the Board issued decisions in cases reining in the previous Board's expansions. These issues included the scope of protected concerted activity, property access, classification as employees, and more. Much of the Board's anticipated agenda, however, remains incomplete.
