New Union Rules

Missoulian: Senate to vote on measure to nullify union rules

Federal Register: Representation-Case Procedures

“The Board believes that the final rule will reduce unnecessary litigation in representation cases and thereby enable the Board to better fulfill its duty to expeditiously resolve questions concerning representation. The final rule will also save time and resources for the parties and the agency.”

Explanation of Election Process Changes

One of the NLRB's primary responsibilities is to hold secret ballot elections so that employees can decide whether they wish to be represented by a labor union or, if already represented, to remove the union or replace it with another.

The Board recently voted to change some election procedures in order to reduce unnecessary litigation, adopting parts of a broader proposal to modernize and streamline the election process.
