The NLRB’s New Framework for Union Organizing – What It Means for Employers
Join Fox Rothschild Labor Management Relations attorneys Bob Nagle, Andrew MacDonald and Lori Armstrong Halber for a webinar exploring the full impact of the National Labor Relations Board’s groundbreaking decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, which jettisoned 50 years of established law to provide unions with a more favorable organizing framework.
Under the new rules, an employer that is presented with a demand for recognition by a labor organization that can demonstrate majority support must promptly file an election petition with the NLRB or face liability for failing to recognize and bargain with the union. In the past, it has been up to the union to petition the board. Even worse, an employer requesting an election that is later found to have committed even a single unfair labor practice prior to the election may be faced with a bargaining order, notwithstanding the results of the election.
Our Labor Management Relations attorneys will discuss how this decision shifts the legal landscape for employers, review practical considerations and outline an employer’s options when they are faced with a union demand for recognition.
