Irv Geslewitz, principal in Much’s Labor & Employment group, authored an article for Law360 on a U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned the Chevron doctrine, which previously allowed courts to defer to federal agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statues. The ruling holds that reviewing courts are to now identify and apply the “best reading” of a statute without deferring to agency interpretations.
In the article, Geslewitz discusses how this ruling will impact the National Labor Relations Board, which has long been relied on by the U.S. Supreme Court for its readings of federal labor law.
