Since President Joe Biden took office in 2021, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or the board) has shifted in a pro-labor direction. In addition to aligning board appointments back to a Democrat-controlled majority, Biden's appointment of Jennifer Abruzzo as the NLRB's general counsel has resulted in numerous policy initiatives by the board. Whether a direct result of the administration's labor-friendly initiatives or an independent coincidence, the board recently reported a substantial increase in the number of union representation petitions filed at the NLRB.
