New Workplace Cooperation Rules: Employee Organizations Without NLRB Oversight.

This bill creates a new type of Employee Involvement Organization (EIO) that employers can establish and support to discuss wages, benefits, and working conditions. These organizations are not traditional labor unions and are exempt from oversight by the federal labor agency (NLRB), fundamentally changing the rules for workplace dialogue. Citizens gain a new, formal communication channel with management, but without the power of exclusive collective bargaining.
Key points
Allows employers to legally establish and assist internal Employee Involvement Organizations (EIOs) to discuss employment terms, including compensation and benefits, without being charged with an unfair labor practice.
EIOs cannot act as exclusive collective bargaining representatives and do not prevent employees from forming a traditional labor union.
At large companies (over 3,000 employees), an EIO representative may serve as a non-voting member on the Board of Directors or a Workforce Committee, gaining access to relevant information.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is stripped of its authority to enforce or adjudicate matters related to these new EIOs.
