ABOUT THE EVENT

The NLRB during the Obama administration was very employee-friendly and issued many decisions that significantly impacted employers. One of those decisions was recently overturned by the now Trump-administration NLRB.

In Caesars Entertainment d/b/a/ Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, 368 NLRB No. 143, the NLRB reversed its prior decision on this issue and held on December 17, 2019, that employers may now restrict employee use of the employer’s email system as long as the employer does so in a non-discriminatory manner. This overruled the prior decision in which the NLRB had held that there was a presumption that employees had a right to use the employer’s email system during non-working time for communications protected by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. This is an important decision not just for its specific holding but also because it may signal an end to the employee-friendly and broad-based decisions of the NLRB during the Obama era that went far to hold that almost any action by the employer could potentially violate Section 7 of the NLRA. This informative webinar will not only cover in-depth the current NLRB decision overruling the NLRB’s prior holding on use of company email system but also an overview of the board’s prior positions on issues such as social media and social media policies and how those positions may soon be changing in a significant way.

Among the many takeaways from this webinar, participants will learn:

An in-depth analysis of the NLRB’s holding in the Caesars Entertainment d/b/a/ Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino case and what it means for an employer’s current need to revise policies and practices to ensure compliance with this case
Discussion of the prior case law on this issue and the relevant changes based on this current decision
Best practices to draft an email policy in accordance with this current NLRB decision
Learn about the important exceptions set forth in this ruling and when employers can apply those exceptions
Understand how this decision may signal a change in NLRB enforcement of the NLRA
Discuss some other cases in which the Trump administration NLRB has overruled its prior employee-friendly decisions
Have a better understanding of the NLRB’s prior employer-friendly decisions on issues such as Facebook Firing and Social Media policies and how these decisions may soon be overruled as well
And much more!!!!!
