The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is under new leadership and has begun returning the nation to a more balanced labor policy. The NLRB is responsible for enforcing the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which governs labor management relations at unionized and non-unionized employers. Under the new administration, the NLRB has returned to a more moderate path for labor relations issues and begun reversing some pro-union rulings generated during the prior administration.

At the same time, however, the NLRB recently stumbled regarding the joint employment doctrine.
