HIGHLIGHTS

“On November 8, 2024, the National Labor Relations Board (the “Board”) ruled in Siren Retail Corp. d/b/a Starbucks Corp. that the prior test governing the lawfulness of statements made by employers concerning the effects of unionization on the employer/employee relationship was wrongly decided, and defined a new test that considers whether the employer’s statements are factually supported and reasonably justified.  This pro-labor decision is one of the last that may be issued by the Board under its current Democratic majority, prior to the inauguration of President-elect Trump and the personnel changes expected to accompany his return.”
