On October 10, 2019, the National Labor Relations Board issued an important decision in LA Specialty Produce Co., 368 NLRB No. 93 (2019). In its first ruling applying the standard established in The Boeing Co., 365 NLRB No. 154 (2017) for determining the validity of rules, policies and handbook provisions under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the Board majority simplified and curtailed its analysis, and made short work of challenges to rules pertaining to confidential client and vendor lists and responses to media inquiries made on behalf of the employer. The Board concluded both types of rules are categorically lawful.
