Case: Labor Arbitration/Confidentiality Agreements (Arb.)

Arbitrator Richard Horn determined that Reinhold Electric didn’t violate the collective bargaining agreement or the NLRA when it enforced confidentiality and non-competition agreements against its employees. The issue in this case is mostly moot, since Reinhold Electric discontinued the use of these agreements after April 2023. In addition, both the company and the union had the opportunity to lawfully negotiate and agree to the language of these agreements, and there is evidence that the language doesn’t violate NLRB precedent.
