Arbitrary, Capricious,and Contrary to Law National Mediation Board and National Labor Relations Board new rules

摘要

Some observers of the recent rules published by the current NMB and NLRB have described them as the above title indicates.. ..and they may be correct. The National Mediation Board is a part of the Department of Labor and works to mediate disputes raised by those employees covered under the Railway Labor Act (RLA), which includes those in the airline business. This board has now decided that unions can organize airline and railroad workers if a simple majority of voting workers support unionization, rather than a majority of workers in the proposed bargaining unit, as has been the rule for 75 years.
