It’s hard to overstate how bold and game-changing the NLRB’s decision to the benefit of worker’s rights to collective action and form a union. They’ve successfully ushered in a reignition of the labour movement.
Looks like they had to get this decision in before one of the members had to step down in a few days at the end of the month. The board isn’t allowed to pass decisions without a full board and it looks like with the composition of the current senate, the chances of any new appointee getting confirmed is slim. It would be interesting if dems could actually get their members in line to get an appointee through.
The decision they did pass is wild though, if the majority of employees join a union, the company automatically has to either recognize or have the labor board run the recognition election. AND if they do any shenanigans, the union automatically gets recognized. I’m not really well versed in this so I assume “entering bargaining” means that they have to start contract negotiations.
This eliminates or at least limits the ability for the company to influence the formation of unions.
