The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is scheduled to hear oral arguments concerning the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) actions, which some claim infringe on employers' First Amendment rights. The case focuses on the NLRB's recent interpretation of "unfair labor practices," which allegedly restricts employers from discussing unionization with their employees.

The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) is representing several employers in this matter, including Burnett Specialists, Staff Force, Allegiance Staffing, Link Staffing, and LeadingEdge Personnel. The hearing will take place on Tuesday, October 8th at 1:00 pm CT at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit located at 600 Camp Street in New Orleans.

The TPPF describes itself as a non-profit free-market research institute based in Austin. Its mission includes defending constitutional rights through legal challenges against perceived government overreach. The Center for the American Future within TPPF specifically engages in legal battles across various court levels to protect individuals' lives, liberty, and property from government actions that it views as unconstitutional.
