Labor Board Ratchets Up Prosecution of ‘Negligent’ Unions
As of September 14, the National Labor Relations Board has asked field offices to begin pursuing unions that have been slow or unprofessional in responding to worker complaints. The NLRB is holding unions to a higher standard in providing fair representation to employees, by asking to implement or use tracking systems that records response time to worker complaints. The new directive is similar to other policy changes that increases pressure on unions in recruiting and maintaining membership numbers.
