The National Labor Relations Board announced a resolution it plans to move on tomorrow to shorten the time that elapses between a petition being filed for a union election, and the actual election. Industry has been anticipating the move for some time, but it appears the NLRB plans to rush the measure through before they lose a quorum. Bloomberg turned to LRI president Phil Wilson for comment: “The new resolution is not as far-reaching as it could have been, but it still gets unions their key goal, which is to cut the average election time down substantially,” Wilson said. UPDATE: now that the rule has been established, and the time frame announced for it to go into effect, you can get the details on our webinar here.
