On Wednesday, March 5 at 10:00 a.m., the House Education and the Workforce Committee will hold a hearing entitled, “Culture of Union Favoritism: The Return of the NLRB’s Ambush Election Rule.”
On February 6, the National Labor Relations Board issued a proposed rule that the Committee believes will dramatically alter long-standing policies governing union elections. As a result of the board’s proposal, the Committee believes that the ability of employers to communicate with employees will be severely restricted and the right of workers to make an informed decision in union elections will be crippled. Wednesday’s hearing will provide members the opportunity to examine the proposed rule and its effects on workers and employers.
