Cablevision Questions Authority of NLRB to Pursue Labor Complaints

摘要

Cablevision used a court ruling from January to attempt to undermine the authority of the NationalnLabor Relations Board and complaints to the NLRB from its New York workers. The cable companynsought a petition for a writ of mandamus and a motion for a stay in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.nCircuit to stop the NLRB from pursuing labor relations cases that it called “baseless,” in a news releasenThursday (http://yhoo.it/13qsS4K). A former chairman of the board said the court ruling that led to Cablevision'snwrit of mandamus was unprecedented, and the union that's organized opposition to the companyncriticized the request.
