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.

On January 25, 2021, the NLRB Division of Advice (“the Division”) released a memo that may indicate a change in the way workers engaged in cannabis activities are covered under federal labor law. Under the NLRA, the right to form and join a union is limited to employees. Agricultural laborers do not have that right under federal law. Despite the fact that many workers in the cannabis industry are often involved in the cultivation and harvesting of a crop, they have typically been considered employees rather than agricultural laborers under the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA” or “the Act”). This recently released advice memo (available here) reverses that interpretation.
