In a December 13, 2022 ruling involving employer Thryv, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) panel embraced a concept asserted by the NLRB’s prosecutorial arm which expands available remedies for employees claiming they are victims of discrimination and retaliation. By making available consequential damages for actual and foreseeable harm resulting from conduct alleged to be unlawful, the NLRB is looking beyond mere out of pocket loss.
For the first time in years the NLRB’s five-member Board, which decides cases and enacts regulations, has a Democratic majority. The Board will decide cases as presented. It is expected that case rulings will revise legal standards applicable to the workplace and reverse decisions from the previous Administration and the previous Republican majority on the Board.
