NLRB adopts some new election rules

By a 2 -1 vote the NLRB adopted new rules for the election process. This is a less than sweeping change, and only addresses a few issues set out in the previous post.

NLRB election revisions released

The NLRB is scheduled to vote today on a partial set of proposed revisions to the way in which the NLRB conducts representation elections which determine whether a union represents a majority of the employees in a unit appropriate for collective bargaining. The NLRB explanation of the proposal is here. The proposals under consideration today appear to be a modest, partial list. If passed the proposals will be drafted into final regulations. These proposals limits the issues which may be raised at the hearing and makes the right to brief the issues contingent upon the hearing officer determining briefing is necessary. Given the modest nature of these proposals, its unlikely Member Hayes will express his opposition in a dramatic way.
