Lawyer at Jackson Lewis LLP in San Francisco claims that the new NLRB proposition to more efficiently allow union elections to occur, is shutting the employers out of the union election development. NLRB hopes to reduce stalling during the election proceedings so that employers have less influence on employee decisions as well as reducing union momentum. While Republicans argue that the NLRB?s power has become too absolute and that such a change in union management relations is not helpful in a period of unemployment, many democrats and union representatives herald this change only as a means towards a more just power relations between unions and management. Meetings are expected to occur on July 18 and 19.
