Labor Management Relations Under President Biden

On the day of his inauguration, President Biden took the unprecedented step of removing National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel Peter Robb from office and naming an acting General Counsel. Now, Jennifer Abruzzo, the President’s nominee for the GC spot, awaits confirmation.

In this episode, Glenn Spencer, Senior Vice President of the Employment Policy Division at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and attorney Steve Swirsky discuss what employers can expect from the NLRB under the Biden administration. Attorney David Garland leads the conversation.

Employers and the New Administration is a special podcast series from Employment Law This Week®, with analysis of the Biden administration’s first 100 days. Special podcast episodes air every other #WorkforceWednesday. Subscribe on your preferred podcast platform below.
