09.28.2026NLRB General Counsel Advocates Change to Standard for Review of Employee Conduct PoliciesNLRB General Counsel Crystal Carey has directed NLRB regional staff to urge the Board to change the standard by which employer rules on employee conduct are analyzed. Two cases currently on appeal to the Board involve allegations that Atlassian and Honeywell maintained unlawful employee conduct rules. Under the present legal standard, articulated in the Stericycle decision handed down by the Biden Board, rules of conduct are reviewed not objectively, but from the perspective of an employee who is contemplating union organizing, which makes conduct rules legally vulnerable. In fact, at the trial level for both cases, NLRB prosecutors successfully invoked Stericycle, and the Administrative Law Judges applied the Stericycle decision. That was then and this is now, and the new General Counsel is asking the Board to scrap Stericycle and consider employer rules through a more balanced lens.

06.30.2026Cemex Bargaining Orders Survive Two Appeals But Cemex Fate Remains InsecureIn a decision long-awaited by the labor community, the Ninth Circuit opted to punt rather than go for the big play in Cemex Construction. On April 21, 2026, the court declined to tackle head on the NLRB’s August 2023 seismic change to the laws governing labor organizing.

(1969), without approving or rejecting the Cemex holding. As a result, the Cemex decision lives on as of this writing.
