On February 14, the NLRB Acting General Counsel William B. Cowen issued a memo rescinding a series of memos issued by General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. The rescinded memos provided guidance on issues pertaining to student athletes, “make whole” remedies, electronic monitoring, and noncompete agreement, among other topics.

While GC memos are nonbinding by law, they provide guidance to regional officials on the policy priorities of the NLRB’s General Counsel.
