Changes for Employers in 2025

Changes for Employers in 2025

 What could change for workers and employers in the coming years?

One item we’re looking at is how the new administration may impact the National Labor Relations Board — and what this could mean for employee protections.

Historically, the NLRB plays a critical role in upholding workers’ rights, including the ability to unionize, bargain collectively, and address unfair labor practices. However, with changes in administration, we often see shifts in the Board’s priorities, which can directly influence how protections are enforced (or not).
The NLRB tends to swing with the administrations.  Employee protections were strengthened over the last four years and we expect them to soften over the  next four years.

Early signs suggest that the incoming administration may prioritize business interests over expanding worker protections – potentially making it more challenging for employees to advocate for their rights. After the last four years, employees have enjoyed significant strengthening of protections including their right to speak out against labor practices at work. We expect some of these employee protections will be rolled back.

 Why does this matter to employers?

Knowing how labor law and labor law interpretation impacts you as an employer is important in navigating compliance and planning for workforce changes.
Knowing how the NLRB impacts you and your workforce helps you determine which actions you need to take as an employer.

At SweeterHR, we stay ahead of these trends so you don’t have to. We’re here to help you navigate what’s next and create a workplace where you and your employees can thrive—no matter what changes come down the pipeline.
