The National Labor Relations Board has confirmed that its 2020 General Motors decision governs how employers can discipline employees for abusive conduct during union or protected activities. This ruling makes it significantly easier for employers to address employee misconduct without treating contemporaneous protected activity as a substantial barrier to discipline, applying a consistent Wright Line test across workplace outbursts, social media posts, and picket line conduct.

The court found that the arbitration clause in the employment agreement was too narrow to cover the employee's statutory discrimination, accommodation, and retaliation claims, as these arose from public policy protections rather than contractual interpretation or breach.
