 July 22, 2026 | UNION RIGHTS | A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday said a decades-old National Labor Relations Board policy requiring companies that acquire other employers to bargain with their workers' unions is unlawful, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck a blow to federal agency powers. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2-1 decision, said the so-called "successor bar" doctrine, which has existed in some form for decades and was last upheld by the NLRB in 2011, is inconsistent with federal labor law's guarantees of employee freedom and majority rule.
