Executive Summary: A recent Memorandum issued by the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon may reflect a subtle effort by the Board to encourage the recovery of front pay for individuals claiming they were unlawfully fired or disciplined. GC 13-02, issued January 9, 2013, modifies existing policy to permit Board settlements to include front pay instead of requiring such agreements to be set forth in non-Board “side letters,” which was the prior practice.
