Today, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced a series of modifications to the Agency’s representation case procedures that will end the Obama-era Ambush Election Rule.
Of the changes, NLRB Chairman John F. Ring stated, “These are common-sense changes to ensure expeditious elections that are fair and efficient. The new procedures will allow workers to be informed of their rights and will simplify the representation process to the benefit of all parties.”
The changes will be effective 120 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register, which is anticipated to be December 18, 2019. Read the full press release here.
