Even with the Employee Free Choice Act now seemingly DOA, major reform of labor law is not far off. Wilma Liebman and the three new Obama appointees, including Craig Becker, are now in the driver’s seat at the National Labor Relations Board. Big Labor justifiably expects the Liebman/Becker-led board to deliver on President Obama’s campaign promises and to revamp federal labor law in its favor.
As part of its reform of the National Labor Relations Act, the board will likely institute administrative rule making before the end of 2011. The new legislative rules that emerge from this rarely used process will have the full force and effect of law and will create a new playing field that is heavily tilted in favor of union organizing and union bargaining rights.
