Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the National Labor Relations Board

Resumo

The National Labor Relations Board, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is issuing an interim regulation for employees of the NLRB that supplements the executive branch-wide Standards of Ethical Conduct (Standards) issued by OGE. The supplemental regulation requires NLRB employees to obtain approval before engaging in outside employment, and requires employees to provide written notification of disqualification. The NLRB is also repealing provisions in its old standards of conduct regulations that required prior approval to engage in outside employment and prohibited the private practice of law, both of which have been superseded by the Standards.
