In a memo issued today, NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon outlined in detail how regional offices will implement new representation case procedures that take effect on Monday, April 30. The guidance covers the entire representation case process from beginning to end, incorporating to the extent necessary the new rules and the procedures that remain unchanged.
The General Counsel’s office also issued a set of Frequently Asked Questions explaining the Board’s revised rules and the procedures that will be followed by regions in implementing those rules in an effort to provide guidance in this area to the regional staffs, practitioners and all members of the general public.
The NLRB’s new election rules are still being contested in federal court. It is possible that the NLRB’s rule may be enjoined by the court prior to the effective date. We will keep you updated as the news develops.
