During the American Bar Association's Mid-Winter Meeting in Clearwater, Florida, newly appointed NLRB General Counsel William Cowen stated that he aims to follow the Executive Branch's agenda, which may benefit employers facing NLRB issues. He indicated that while 30 out of 1300 employees took advantage of a resignation program, he does not expect significant impacts from it. Additionally, with a lack of budget increase anticipated for the NLRB, potential cuts could exacerbate existing backlogs. He is keen on enhancing settlement processes, stressing the overworked status of regional offices.
GC Cowen emphasizes that the NLRB must align closely with the Executive Branch's agenda, suggesting a potential shift toward a more employer-friendly climate.
He noted that regional offices are currently overworked, which could hinder their ability to effectively manage settlements and the workload ahead.
