Slaughter, the U.S. Supreme Court held that federal agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are not \u201cindependent.\u201d The NLRB\u2019s Board members and General Counsel serve at the President\u2019s pleasure and can be removed at any time, for any reason\u2014or for no reason. The Ripple Effect on the NLRB: Although the Slaughter ruling doesn\u2019t affect other positions at the NLRB, it has the potential to have a significant trickle-down effect on those who report to the NLRB\u2019s Board members or General Counsel. This will likely be compounded by the administration\u2019s efforts to remove civil service protections for many positions at the NLRB as well as other agencies. A New Circuit Split on the Standard for Section 10(j) Injunctions: Applying the traditional four-part test for the first time since the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Starbucks v. McKinney, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit declined to accept an NLRB Regional Director\u2019s contention that irreparable harm would result from an employer\u2019s refusal to bargain, splitting with the Ninth and Fourth Circuits over the standard for granting injunctive relief under Section 10(j) of the National Labor Relations Act. In this episode of Employment Law This Week\u00ae, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Steven M. Swirsky and William P. Lewis break down how the Supreme Court\u2019s latest term is reshaping the NLRB and the standards courts use when reviewing its actions. - Visit our site for this week\u2019s video edition and more news: https:\/\/www.ebglaw.com\/eltw440 Sign up for notifications: https:\/\/www.ebglaw.com\/eltw-subscribe Visit https:\/\/www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com - Epstein Becker Green is a national law firm focused on health care and life sciences; employment, labor, and workforce management; and litigation and business disputes.
