Labor & Employment Update: NLRB Broadens Protections for Solo Employee's Complaints
WHAT?
On August 25, 2023, the National Labor Relations Board issued a ruling in Miller Plastic Products, Inc., 372 NLRB No. 134 (2023) that affects union and non-union employers.
WHY?
The Board continued its recent trend of overruling precedent and, in doing so, blurred the line between protected activity and an individual employee’s “mere griping.”
ACTION
Employers should take note that an individual employee’s complaint may be considered protected concerted activity under the NLRA.
