National Labor Relations Board Reform: More members, political balance, and faster decisions.
This Act reforms the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the body resolving disputes between employees and employers. It increases the number of Board members from five to six, ensuring equal representation for both major political parties, aiming for more balanced decisions. It also introduces mechanisms to speed up case processing, allowing parties to seek judicial review if the Board fails to issue a final order within one year.
Key points
NLRB Composition Change: The Board will have 6 members instead of 5, with equal representation (3 to 3) for each of the two major political parties.
Faster Case Resolution: If the NLRB fails to issue a final order on a labor dispute within 1 year, the case may be discharged, and parties can seek judicial review.
Increased Transparency: Parties to a complaint can request access to internal legal memoranda and advice from the NLRB General Counsel's Office related to their case.
Early Judicial Review: Persons subject to a complaint can seek review in district court to prohibit further proceedings if the General Counsel lacks substantial evidence of a labor law violation.
