The National Labor Relations Board has issued new rules offering a level playing field for employees who want to organize, and for employers who now have options about how to bargain with employees and also clarity about the law.
“… the revised framework represents an effort to better effectuate employees’ right to bargain through their chosen representative while acknowledging that employers have the option to invoke the statutory provision allowing them to pursue a Board election. When employers pursue this option, the new standard will promote a fair election environment by more effectively disincentivizing employers from committing unfair labor practices.”
