Employment Law Bulletin

A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXXII, Issue 9

In this issue: Recent legal shifts have impacted labor and employment law significantly. A Texas federal judge blocked NLRB proceedings against SpaceX, citing the Board's unconstitutional structure. Similarly, another Texas case halted NLRB actions pending constitutional reviews, backed by business groups challenging the denial of jury trials. The NLRB has withdrawn its appeal of the 2023 joint-employer rule, keeping the 2020 Trump-era standard. Additionally, a court invalidated the FTC’s non-compete ban, and DEI programs are being revised by institutions like SHRM and the ABA. Employers are also using claim limitations in agreements to reduce potential damages, as evidenced by FedEx's successful reduction of a $365 million award.
