In a recent decision regarding the dress code at a Tesla manufacturing plant, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found that a dress code or uniform policy that even implicitly limits employees’ ability to wear clothing that supports a union, unionization, or any collective action related to the terms and conditions of employment violates the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Along with Briefly Legal host Adam Childers, Labor & Employment Practice Group member Michael W. Bowling discusses how the rule will be applied moving forward, exceptions to the rule in special circumstances, and why employers should consider updating their dress code policies. Adam and Michael also preview the upcoming annual Labor & Employment Seminars in Oklahoma City on October 13 and in Tulsa on October 25.
