The National Labor Relations Board is pushing forward with its plan to cooperate more closely with other Federal agencies tasked with overseeing employment law. This follows an announcement in November 2021 that the National Labor Relations Board and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would work together on activities to raise awareness about retaliation issues in the workplace. The agencies announced that they would increase collaboration between the agencies on information sharing and public engagement with the employer community, business and labor organizations, and civil rights groups.
On February 10, 2022 General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo formalized this initiative with Memorandum GC 22-03, which announced that the National Labor Relations Board would strengthen information sharing, investigation, enforcement, training, and outreach efforts with not only the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, but also its sister agencies the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the Office of Labor-Management Standards, and the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. Specific initiatives announced in the General Counsel’s memo included Headquarters’ level virtual webinar series focused on combatting retaliation, with regional offices being encouraged to develop similar interagency partnerships and joint engagement with local branches of other agencies.
