The National Labor Relations Board has taken a tough and generally pro-labor stance recently, but 2015 may have been its biggest year yet. In April, the board retooled union elections by implementing new “quickie” election rules, which have been found to reduce the average time between petition and election by around 40 percent. Many believe this can only benefit unions, as management now has less time to mount a campaign against them.
It’s not just about speed though. The rules force employers to articulate certain legal issues with a union drive early in the process, or else waive the right to get them resolved later. Employers now have to provide unions with a list of employees’ personal email addresses.
