Workforce Committee Holds Hearing On Job Killing NLRB Proposal

Hearing Exposes Harmful Impact of NLRB's Proposal to Rush Union Elections

The U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, chaired by Rep. John Kline (R-MN), yesterday held a hearing to examine a recent proposal by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to rush union elections. The proposal would provide employers just seven days to prepare a legal case to present before the NLRB and delay answers to critical questions until after the union election. Additionally, the proposal contains a series of changes to long-standing labor practices, and represents a dramatic shift in workforce policies.

"Under the board’s proposal, a union election could occur in as little as 10 days," said Chairman Kline.
