(Labor) National Labor Relations Board formally rescinded its "quickie election" rule

On December 22, 2013, the National Labor Relations Board formally rescinded its "quickie election" rule consistent with the district court’s decision in Chamber of Commerce of the U.S. v. NLRB.

This final rule rescinds the amendments to the National Labor Relations Board’s (the Board’s) representation case procedures adopted by the Board’s final rule of December 22, 2011, consistent with the district court’s decision in Chamber of Commerce of the U.S. v. NLRB setting aside that rule. On December 9, 2013, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit dismissed the Board’s appeal of the district court’s decision, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation. Now that the district court’s decision is no longer subject to appellate review, this final rule restores the relevant language in the CFR to that which existed before the Board issued the December 22, 2011 final rule.

Effective Date:  January 22, 2014

The Board rule was published in the Federal Register...
