NLRB Alleges New York State Labor Law Preempted by NLRA
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a lawsuit challenging a recently enacted New York State law that would allow the state to assert jurisdiction over private sector labor disputes when the state believes the NLRB is unable to act effectively, asserting the law is preempted by federal labor law. The challenge raises significant questions about state authority to regulate labor relations as the five-member NLRB remains without a quorum to issue binding decisions.
