In January 2021, the Division of Judges of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued an updated Bench Book, which replaces the January 2020 version. The Bench Book is intended to serve as a reference guide for NLRB administrative law judges during unfair labor practice hearings.
The new Bench Book also serves as a useful tool and reference guide for attorneys practicing before the NLRB Board and for employers, as it contains citations to and information about numerous precedential Board decisions and orders, including those issued over the last year. Some of the updates to the new Bench Book include information on the authority of administrative law judges to order remote hearings by videoconference during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
