Labor Board Overturns Host of Obama-Era Rulings
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Late last week, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a number of rulings overturning erroneous decisions from the Obama Administration. Specifically, the NLRB overturned contentious rulings on joint-employers (Browning-Ferris), “micro-units” (Specialty Healthcare), employer handbooks (Lutheran Heritage) and employer bargaining duties (DuPont). These welcome rulings come on the heels of the NLRB’s request for information (RFI) to potentially change the 2014 Election Rule, also known as the “quickie” or “ambush” elections rule. The RFI asks four separate questions about whether to retain the rule, rescind it or variations of each. NRMCA will submit comments to support rescinding the rule and readopting the status quo prior to the 2014 rule. Comments on the RFI are due by Monday, February 12, 2018.
