JMBM Partner Travis Gemoets was recently featured in a Hotel Dive article discussing the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) shifting landscape under the new presidential administration.
In the article, titled “How the NLRB’s Uncertain Future Could Impact Hotels,” Travis provides critical insights into President Trump’s unexpected dismissal of Democratic NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox—a move that has left the Board without a quorum and effectively stalled its ability to issue new rulings. This development has introduced significant uncertainty, particularly within the hospitality industry, where labor relations are vital to day-to-day operations. Travis explains that this paralysis could result in extended delays for resolving union organizing efforts and unfair labor practice claims, thereby complicating compliance for hoteliers.
Travis also explores what a pro-management shift under a Trump-led NLRB could mean, including potential reversals of Biden-era decisions like the Cemex Construction Materials case and the re-legalization of captive audience meetings.
