Conclusion Over the past few years, despite not having a complete slate of Board members, the NLRB has aggressively pursued a pro-union agenda, increased its outreach to non-union employees, and increased its impact on the non-unionized workforce through its expansive interpretation of employee Section 7 rights.

No. 1387, which would ban the practice of “on-call scheduling” for retail employees, meaning, that employers would be prohibited from: (i) scheduling a retail employee for “on-call” hours; (ii) canceling any scheduled hours of work for a retail employee within 72 hours of the start time; and (iii) requiring a retail employee to contact an employer to confirm whether or not the employee should report for work fewer than 72 hours before their start time.
