In December 2014, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) published its final rule governing the process for representation case petitions and pre-election procedures. The “ambush election rule,” which took effect on April 14, 2015, allows employees and unions to significantly shorten the time between filing a petition and a union representation election. The new rule requires elections to occur as soon as practicable, which commentators have suggested may be as early as 10 to 21 days after the filing of a petition. The new rule also greatly limits pre-election unit challenges by an employer.
This webinar will review the impact of the "ambush election rule" in the six months following its implementation.
