ABC Webinar Series, Merit Shop Legal Updates with Jerry Pigsley

About

HOW THE NLRB HAS CHANGED THE RULES REGARDING SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS ABC Nebraska South Dakota Chapter Counsel, Jerry Pigsley, will share information on a recent ground breaking National Labor Relations Board (Board) decision holding both non-disparagement and confidentiality clauses in severance agreements are unlawful. The pro-union Board has found these boilerplate provisions have a reasonable tendency to interfere with, restrain, or coerce the exercise of employee rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. Jerry will discuss common questions that have arisen among merit shop contractors as to how the Board decision impacts employee handbooks, settlement agreements, and non-competition agreements or other restrictive covenants.
