An invitation for union organizers to cheat in elections
September 1, 2023 // The board’s stated interest here is in speedier resolutions of representation cases. “Today’s decision, along with the Board’s recently issued Final Rule on Representation, will strengthen the Board’s ability to provide workers across the country with a timely and fair process for seeking union representation,” said NLRB Chairman Lauren McFerran. Boardmember Marvin Kaplan, the NLRB’s lone Republican appointee, argued in his dissent that the ruling ignores the Supreme Court ruling in a 1946 case called A. J. Tower. “Accordingly, my colleagues ignore the inconvenient fact that the Supreme Court found… that resolving issues of employee eligibility to vote before the election not only satisfies that goal but is ‘peculiarly appropriate’ in Board elections,” Kaplan said.
