While the NLRB change takes effect today, the federal judge will make a final ruling on the matter by May 15, before any union election occurs under the new rule.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Coalition are challenging a December 2011 NLRB ruling that changes the requirements for filing and processing petitions for union representation, arguing the rule “completely eviscerates the statutory right under the NLRA to pre-election hearings.” The American Hospital Association filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the Chamber of Commerce and Coalition for a Democratic Workplace.
The NLRB says its new rules “reduce unnecessary litigation in representation cases.”
