The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recently issued a final rule amending three specific parts of the agency’s so-called “representation” rules and regulations to give greater protection to employees who want to be free to choose whether or not to be represented by a union.
The final rule differs only slightly from the proposed version published by the NLRB in August 20191 and targets so-called blocking charges, the “voluntary recognition bar,” and proof of majority support in the construction industry.
The rule was originally set to take effect on June 1, 2020, but the Board has since announced that due to the disruption created by the coronavirus outbreak the rule will now go into effect on July 31, 2020.
