National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel (GC) Jennifer Abruzzo’s efforts to alter the labor and employment landscape continue. The GC’s latest controversial enforcement memorandum (GC Memo 23-08) asserts that certain non-compete provisions in employment contracts and severance agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act.
The GC previously issued controversial enforcement memoranda involving such issues as:
- Invalidating Confidentiality, Non-Disparagement Provisions in Severance Agreements;
- Employee’s Right to Refrain from Captive Audience and Other Mandatory Meetings; and
- Limiting Electronic Monitoring of Employees.
