Chair of Mintz’s ESG practice group, Jennifer B. Rubin and Associate Nicole Rivers co-authored an article published by Bloomberg Law about the National Labor Relations Board's McLaren Macomb decision and its proposed limits on non-disparagement and confidentiality. Jen and Nicole explain, "Employers should carefully consider who counts as a ‘supervisor’ when drafting non-disparagement and confidentiality clauses in separation agreements after the NLRB’s McLaren Macomb decision."
