Sometimes employers commit unfair labor practices (ULPs) inadvertently—perhaps due to language in the employee handbook or statements made by supervisors that are unlawful. The company may soon become aware of these mistakes. In a recent case, TBC Corpo ration , 367 NLRB No. 18 (2018), the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision discussing the circumstances under which an employer that has violated the National Labor Relations Act may successfully nullify such conduct, effectively erasing the misdeed and eliminating the risk of unfair labor practice liability.
