flag The Ninth Circuit upheld the NLRB’s authority to protect workers’ wage discussions, reinforcing its power amid constitutional challenges.

flag On October 28, 2025, the Ninth Circuit upheld the National Labor Relations Board’s authority, rejecting constitutional challenges to its structure and remedies in a case involving an employer’s disciplinary actions against an employee who discussed wages and working conditions. flag The court affirmed the NLRB’s power to enforce labor rights under the NLRA, finding that its protections for administrative law judges, equitable remedies like reinstatement and back pay, and dual investigative-adjudicative role do not violate Article II, the Seventh Amendment, or the separation of powers. flag The decision reinforces the NLRB’s role in protecting workers’ concerted activity and deepens a circuit split with the Third and Fifth Circuits over the agency’s authority, potentially leading to a Supreme Court review.
