Jackson Women's Health decision. From navigating state laws and privacy concerns to evaluating employee benefits and compliance, employers are grappling with a multitude of challenges. Next, we explore the EEOC's study on the impact of requesting pay data from employers, shedding light on the usefulness and limitations of such data for combating pay discrimination. We then turn our attention to recent EEOC guidance on COVID-19, highlighting the changes in workplace testing requirements and the continued focus on balancing ADA standards with public health concerns. Finally, we examine an interesting trend: while non-union workers experience faster wage growth amid high inflation, union wages struggle to keep up due to the nature of long-term collective bargaining agreements.

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 The NLRB has withdrawn its appeal of the 2023 joint-employer rule, keeping the 2020 Trump-era standard.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.
