NLRB Jurisdiction Thresholds Increase: Less Bureaucracy for Small Businesses.
This Act significantly raises the financial thresholds for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to assert jurisdiction over labor disputes. This change means a much larger number of small businesses will be exempt from NLRB oversight, potentially simplifying their operations but also limiting their employees' access to the federal labor dispute resolution mechanism. The thresholds will be adjusted annually based on the Personal Consumption Expenditure Per Capita Index.
Key points
Jurisdiction Change: Financial thresholds for NLRB jurisdiction over labor disputes will be multiplied by ten in 2024.
Impact on Small Businesses: More small businesses will be exempt from federal NLRB labor dispute regulations, potentially reducing their administrative burden.
Indexing: Jurisdictional thresholds will be automatically adjusted annually after 2024 based on the inflation index (Personal Consumption Expenditure Per Capita Index).
