Republicans Try to Halt New Rule Affecting Union Elections
Republican members of Congress have introduced a joint resolution of Congress to try to stop a new National Labor Relations Board rule from going into effect this April.
According to a joint statement released by congressional Republicans last week, the “ambush election” rule, finalized last December, would decrease the amount of time a labor union certification election is held from over a month to a mere 11 days.
They argue that the rule limits the amount of time an employer has to communicate with employees before a union organizing election, thus hampering their ability to make an “informed decision.” They also claim that the rule would mandate that employers hand over their employees’ sensitive information–such as work schedules and personal contact information–without their knowledge or consent. The rule would also limit an employer’s time to find and pursue legal representation to one week.
