Board

In a 3-to-1 vote, Democratic board members sided against the Atlanta Opera, which has said that its hair and makeup stylists who are seeking to unionize are not employees but independent contractors. The NLRB ruled that the hair stylists are employees with union rights under the National Labor Relations Act, an about-face from the standard set in 2019. The board will now return to a 2014 framework for determining worker classification, rejecting a Trump-era test that elevated a worker’s “entrepreneurial opportunity” as the key factor in determining a worker’s employment status.

According to Leading with Intent, in general, boards are doing well with the more fundamental board responsibilities — understanding the organization’s purpose and mission and providing financial oversight. Conversely, they struggle most with the external responsibilities, including fundraising, advocacy, and community-building and outreach. This lack of understanding of what is, and is not, a part of the board’s essential responsibilities can lead to a whole host of dysfunctions, such as micromanagement, rogue decision-making, and lack of engagement.
