The changes - which have been suspended - are described in this fact sheet.
- Proposed amendments to NLRB election rules and regulations - The proposed amendments are designed to fix flaws in the Board's current procedures that build in unnesessary delays, allow wasteful litigation, and fail to take advantage of modern communication technologies.
- Final rule to post NLRA rights - Under a rule promulgated by the NLRB, most private sector employers will be required to post a notice advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Note, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily enjoined the posting rule.
