NLRB Proposes Amendments to Union Election Rules

On February 6, 2014, a divided National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) reissued proposed amendments to its rules governing union elections. The proposed reforms are identical to the NLRB’s proposed June 2011 amendments. That proposal resulted in a final rule that was invalidated in 2012 because a district court found it was adopted illegally. See Chamber of Commerce v. NLRB, 879 F. Supp. 2d 18, 30 (D.D.C. 2012).
