On August 29, 2022, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a major decision that reversed a standard it set in 2019. Previously, employers enjoyed substantial discretion to limit alterations to work uniforms or other designated clothing in the workplace.
In a case involving Tesla Inc., the NLRB flipped the standard on its head by ruling that any limitation on the display of union insignias in the workplace is presumptively unlawful, except in special circumstances that make it necessary to maintain production or discipline in the workplace.
