Introduction
In our last Review, we reported that the National Labor Relations Board had a very busy year. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was also a fairly busy year for the Board. In its final year, the Trump Board produced a number of key decisions for employers. Whether those decision stand the test of time remains to be seen, because the Biden Board will soon begin its work. In the meantime, we will review the highlights from 2020 and preview some of the possible changes that may be down the road.
Like so many of us, the Board was forced to convert nearly of its employees to remote work in March of 2020, and ultimately transitioned most of its activities to a virtual environment. This included videoconferencing for unfair labor practice (“ULP”) and representational proceedings. The Board also continued to conduct representational elections, following a brief two-week shut down.

It is an unfair labor practice for an employer to retaliate against (1) union supporters pursuant to Section 8(a)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act (the “Act”), and (2) employees for filing a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, testifying in a Board proceeding, or otherwise utilizing the Board’s processes, under Section 8(a)(4). Both require an analysis of the employer’s motivation. But, does an employer violate both sections of the Act under the same factual pattern?
According to the Board, not necessarily. On February 19, 2021, the Board, in
BS&B Safety Systems, LLC, 370 NLRB No. 90 (2021), held that an employer violated Section 8(a)(3) of the Act by discharging an employee for engaging in union activities, but found that the employer did not violate Section 8(a)(4), even though the employee participated and cooperated in Board proceedings over a previously-filed unfair labor practice charge.
