| The Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs released the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rulemaking priorities today. The release, included in the twice-yearly Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Long Term Actions/Short Term Actions), is based on a submission prepared at the direction of NLRB Chairman John F. Ring. Chairman Ring stated, “The Agenda reflects the Board majority’s strong interest in continued rulemaking. Addressing these important topics through rulemaking allows the Board to consider and issue guidance in a clear and more comprehensive manner.” In addition to the NLRB proceeding joint-employer standard rulemaking, the Board will also consider rulemaking in the following areas: |
- Current representation-case procedures;
- Standards for blocking charges, voluntary recognition, and the formation of Section 9(a) bargaining relationships in the construction industry;
- The standard for determining whether students who perform services at private colleges or universities in connection with their studies are “employees” within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. Sec. 153(3)); and
- Standards for access to an employer’s private property.
