National Labor Relations Board Adopts New Standard for Evaluating Employer Work Rules

National Labor Relations Board Adopts New Standard for Evaluating Employer Work Rules

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has implemented a new legal standard for assessing employer work rules, shifting focus from the employer's intent to how an employee might reasonably interpret the rule. This change, adopted in 2023 under the 'Stericycle standard,' means that even policies designed with legitimate business purposes can face scrutiny if they could be perceived by employees as restricting their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Previously, many employers assumed a policy was lawful if it served a valid business objective. The NLRB's new approach emphasizes that policies, particularly those concerning civility, confidentiality, and social media, must be carefully worded to avoid inadvertently discouraging protected employee activities such as discussing wages, working conditions, or criticizing management. Investigations often arise not from the mere existence of a policy, but when it is enforced in a way that impacts employee rights.

Cornell S.C. Johnson Graduate School Drops to No. 9 in Bloomberg's Latest Ranking

Cornell S.C. Johnson Graduate School Drops to No. 9 in Bloomberg's Latest Ranking

Cornell's S.C. Johnson Graduate School of Management has fallen one spot to No. 9 in Bloomberg Businessweek's latest Best Business Schools rankings. This marks the second consecutive year the school has been in Bloomberg's top ten U.S. business schools, having previously ranked No. 8. The school tied with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management for ninth place. Bloomberg's annual ranking evaluates full-time MBA programs based on data from students, alumni, and employers, as well as school-reported information. The methodology considers five key areas: compensation, learning, networking, entrepreneurship, and inclusion. This year's shift in ranking for Cornell saw a decrease in compensation and learning scores, while networking and entrepreneurship rankings improved. Notably, Bloomberg removed 'inclusion' as a component of its overall ranking this year, a change that comes amidst increased federal scrutiny of diversity initiatives in universities.
