D.C. Circuit Holds that Quicken Loans Workplace Policies Violate NLRA
By former Associate Jeffrey Hord
Over the past decade, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) has increasingly and aggressively enforced Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) against private, non-union employers. Our blog has previously noted this trend and discussed the possible risks and consequences to employers accused of unlawfully restricting their workers’ protected “concerted activities” (e.g., here and here). However, as many recent Board decisions have shown, employers continue to run afoul of the NLRA by implementing well-intentioned work rules and policies that might inhibit employees from engaging in these protected activities.
