This week, we’re covering four key employer-focused developments:
• a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit challenging the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB’s) authority,
• another Fifth Circuit decision restoring pregnant worker protections,
• the White House’s reversal of a key non-compete executive order, and
• a court ruling against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) early right-to-sue policy.
NLRB Authority in Jeopardy
The Fifth Circuit has ruled that the structure of the NLRB is likely unconstitutional, setting the stage for a potential U.S. Supreme Court review. Epstein Becker Green attorney Erin E. Schaefer tells us more.
Fifth Circuit Restores Pregnant Worker Protections
The Fifth Circuit also upheld the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), reversing a lower court’s preliminary injunction. Employers must now ensure reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related conditions under the PWFA.

The current administration has reversed President Biden’s 2021 executive order on expansive antitrust enforcement, signaling a return to a more traditional approach to competition reviews.
Court Strikes Down EEOC Right-to-Sue Policy
A federal court has ruled against the EEOC’s policy of automatically issuing early right-to-sue notices in discrimination cases, limiting the practice and its impact on claimants.
