Mark Pearce, current chair of the NLRB, told AP this week that he hopes to have a new round of election rule changes in place before the end of the year. ”We keep our eye on the prize,” Pearce said. “Our goal is to create a set of rules that eliminate a lot of waste of time, energy and money for the taxpayers.”
This is the first signal from the Board that it will pursue the remainder of aggressive election changes first proposed last summer including electronic filing, shortened time frames and employee lists that include phone numbers and emails.
Pearce also said he wants the NLRB to become “a household word” for all workers, not just those affiliated with organized labor.
