Momentum Shift from Union Friendly Continues at NLRB, Part 1

Momentum Shift from Union Friendly Continues at NLRB, Part 1

Author: Tom Godar April 7, 2026 Duration: 15:54
There seemed to be another type of madness going on this past month. NLRB called a foul on Jireh Plumbing as it tried to block imposition of a union without an election, ignoring historic precedent established by the Cemex decision. Join host Tom Godar and all-star guest Adam Doerr as they explore recent board decisions which continue NLRB’s shift back in favor of Team Employer. Part 1 leans into the recent board rulings, and part 2, which will be published later this month, follows Courts of Appeals as they also block the Biden-board fast break to new and union friendly interpretations of labor law.

Hosted by Tom Godar, The Labor Law Insider is a conversation for anyone responsible for navigating the complex relationship between management and the workforce. Rather than dry legal lectures, this podcast unfolds as a series of practical discussions with experienced labor and employment attorneys from the Husch Blackwell team. They dig into what’s happening right now-breaking down new rulings, regulatory shifts, and legislative trends that are actively reshaping the workplace. The focus is always on translation: turning dense legal developments into actionable intelligence. You’ll hear clear guidance on proactive strategies and operational best practices designed to help employers stay ahead of risk and foster a compliant, productive work environment. As the business landscape across every sector undergoes constant change, these conversations serve as a crucial resource for leaders, HR professionals, and operators who need to make informed decisions. The Labor Law Insider podcast doesn’t just outline the problems; it prioritizes real-world solutions and sensible steps you can implement. Join Tom and his colleagues for timely, grounded analysis that cuts through the noise of legal news and gets straight to the implications for your organization’s daily reality and long-term planning.
