Recently an article appeared in the National Law Review by Peter T. Tschanz of Barnes & Thornburg LLP regarding Hot Topic cases:
The NLRB recently circulated a memorandum asking all Regional Directors, Officers-in-Charge and Residential Officers to begin tracking what the Agency has defined as “Hot Topic” Cases. The categories include:
– Cessation of Dues Check-Off;
– Information Requests for Financial Records;
– Post Arbitration Deferral;
– Social Media; and
– Use of Employer e-Mail.
The memorandum provides insight into the types of issues likely to grab the NLRB’s attention in 2012. The memorandum can be accessed here.
