Losing a job is a financial blow that extends beyond lost wages. Sudden unemployment can mean taking on credit card debt, losing the ability to pay a mortgage, and racking up medical bills.
On December 13, 2022, the National Labor Relations Board ("Board") made another move to expand relief available to workers who allege unfair labor practices by their employers.
NLRB published a decision in the case of Thryv, Inc. and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1269 that promises to substantially expand the available financial penalties that the Board can require employers to pay if they are found to have infringed.
Based on a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board in an unfair labor practice case, employers should prepare to show that pecuniary harm would have occurred in the absence.
