The Sixth Edition was published in 2012 and much has happened since. Significantly, the Supreme Court's decision in NLRB v. Noel Canning has voided much of the work of the "recess Board" in 2012 and 2013. Nonetheless this Supplement reports the decisions of the "recess Board" because of their importance to the development of the law and their implications for what the now fully confirmed NLRB will be deciding in the next year. The Supplement also includes a discussion of the Noel Canning decision and its implications. As clients seek labor law advice, it is essential that counsel be alert, not only to current Board law but also as to what may be expected from the Board in the future. The question is whether the past will be prologue? How will the work of the "recess Board" affect the development of the law? The 2014 Cumulative Supplement will help to answer these questions on issues such as access to employer property right; the line between valid and invalid work rules because they "reasonably tend to chill the exercise of Section 7 activity"; the effect of social media on Section 7 rights; limitations on employee discussions of ongoing employer investigations of employee misconduct; the status of Board policy with respect to deferral to arbitration; whether an employer has a duty to supply the union with witness statements; the duty of an employer to provide notice and an opportunity to bargain concerning employee discipline before the parties have negotiated their first collective bargaining agreement; and developments under Specialty Healthcare rejecting employer challenges to a classification that has been excluded from an otherwise appropriate unit unless there is a showing of "an overwhelming community of interest with those in the petitioned for unit."
