Much Ado about NLRB Election-Rule Reversal

The fallout is still flying from the court decision striking down a recent rule by the National Labor Relations Board governing union elections.
Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia invalidated the rule -- which would have made it easier and faster for unions to hold organizing elections -- on the grounds that the NLRB did not have a required quorum at the time it was made.
In response, the NLRB announced that, while it is reviewing the decision and considering its response, it is temporarily suspending the implementation of changes to its representation process, which had taken effect April 30.
