NLRB General Counsel Updates Procedures for Handling Immigration Status Issues In ULP Cases | Practical Law
The National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) General Counsel issued a memorandum updating its procedures for handling immigration status issues in unfair labor practice (ULP) proceedings and investigations. The memorandum requires NLRB regional offices to contact the NLRB's Division of Operations-Management promptly once aware that immigration status issues may affect the NLRB's ability to litigate or remedy a ULP and discusses procedures in the investigation and liability stages of a matter. It also provides guidelines for fostering interagency cooperation, exploring alternative ULP remedies and obtaining formal settlements in ULP cases when immigration status issues arise.
