I don't know much about the NLRB's powers. How much legal weight does this have? Would the courts be bound to abide by it?

- zdragnar 3y agoThe NLRB is an executive agency, set up to enact the will of the legislation passed by Congress. Courts rule (in this context) on the validity of laws passed by congress, as well as the consequences of their implementation. An NLRB lawyer saying something is merely an indication of a policy direction. Should the NLRB act on it by, for example, fining companies that have non-compete clauses in employment contracts, the companies would have to take the matter to the courts to seek redress. From there, a court may side with the NLRB, deciding that banning non-competes is within their mandate and that the mandate from congress itself does not violate the constitution. They may also side with the companies, determining that such fines exceed their mandate or that the mandate itself is unconstitutional.
