Cough it Up! Company Forced to Give Union Complete Copy Of Third-Party Agreement

Union information requests continue to be an area of consternation for companies. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), unionized companies generally have a duty to provide unions with “relevant” information upon request. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – at least under the prior administration – has taken an expansive view of the types of information a company must provide to a union. A recent decision from a federal appellate court shows this is an area that continues to get employers in trouble.
