Labor-Management Relations

On May 28, 2026, the Supreme Court issued its latest ruling broadening the transportation worker exemption to the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a transportation worker does not need to cross state lines, or interact with a vehicle that does, to be exempt from the FAA’s coverage. 

In its recent decision in Prime Communications, LP, the National Labor Relations Board (the “Board”) surprisingly reaffirmed a Biden-Board precedent. 

In a significant development for employers navigating union organizing campaigns, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has rejected the National Labor Relations Board’s 2023 decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC.
