National Labor Relations Board Update

2025  was an unusual year for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The previous four years saw the agency with a Democratic majority and a number of landmark decisions changing the law for employers nationwide. At the beginning of the year, the President terminated one of the NLRB’s Members, triggering a court fight that is still unfolding and leaving the agency unable to issue binding decisions for almost all of 2025.  As of January 2026, the NLRB has three members and is able to issue decisions. Join Louis Cannon, Partner at Mitchell, Silberberg Knupp, as he discusses what employers should expect from the Trump NLRB over the next three years. The changes to come will affect both union and nonunion employers.

The presentation will also discuss changes in union organizing that have occurred and what employers can do to protect themselves. The presentation will also focus on best practices for unionized electric cooperatives and municipal utilities and how they can use collective bargaining agreement language to their advantage.
