New NLRB guidance emphasizes need for ‘prompt and fair’ settlements in unfair labor practice disputes
June 27, 2025 // Focus on facilitating efficient, prompt and fair settlements The acting general counsel’s memo initially discusses the need for “efficiency” in the NLRB’s approach toward settlement of charges, noting that “’if we attempt to accomplish everything, we risk accomplishing nothing.’” To that point, Cowen had already rescinded four memos from the prior general counsel on remedial relief – GC 21-06, GC 21-07, GC 22-06, and GC 24-04. In those memos, Regions had been directed to obtain full remedial relief in settlements of charges, and limits on certain clauses and requirements for certain forms of relief were added. The acting general counsel’s memo comments that “our remedial enthusiasm’ should not “distract us from achieving a prompt and fair resolution of disputed matters.”

(Compulsory bargaining is another concept that’s contrary to the freedom that common law protected.) That was the ruling in I.N.S.A, Inc. This is “administrative law” at its worst. Under the Constitution, Congress, not unelected bureaucrats, is supposed to make the laws. But Biden’s pro-union appointments to the NLRB are determined to make the law under the guise of “interpreting” the NLRA. This ruling will lead to more compulsory unionism.
