Today, the Board issued a decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC announcing a new framework for determining when employers are required to bargain with unions without a representation election. The new framework will both effectuate employees’ right to bargain through representatives of their own choosing and improve the fairness and integrity of Board-conducted elections.
This is a step in the right direction. One need not look any further than the recent union-busting efforts by Amazon in places like Alabama to know that corpos will turn every small loophole or delay tactic into an organized busting effort.
