In the 2017 Boei ng Co. decision, the National Labor Relations Board set forth a three‐category test for determining the lawfulness of workplace rules and policies. Application of that test is still developing, and the boundaries of proper rules are still being established. Recently, in Southern Bakeries, LLC , 368 NLRB No. 59 (2019), the NLRB used these standards to determine a rule that was found to be unlawful by an administrative law judge to be lawful, and another rule determined by the judge to be lawful to, in fact, be unlawful, making this case an illustration of the current situation as judges adapt to the changes made by the Boeing Co. decision.
