Bloomberg reported National Labor Relations Board Inspector General David Berry wrote in a Feb. 9 report to NLRB members that Republican board member William Emanuel “should have been recused from participation” in overturning the Browning-Ferris case. The decision restricted employees of contractors and franchisees from pursuing claims against big corporations. Emanuel is a former management-side attorney whose previous law firm, Littler Mendelson, had represented a contractor for Browning-Ferris, the waste company that lost the 2015 decision.
