Employers should keep an eye on the National Labor Relations Board and its rulings in the months ahead, according to Philip A. Miscimarra, the outgoing board chair.

HRDive reports that Miscimarra, who declined the offer of a second term and will leave the board in December, spoke to attendees at Epstein Becker & Green’s annual workforce management briefing in New York on September 14.

The outgoing chair told listeners that each time a board member’s term ends, it’s important for the NLRB to issue rulings on “as many cases as possible” that the departing member has participated in. If that isn’t done, rulings can be delayed for up to four years, since those cases must then be reheard.
