Reversing the Call: NLRB Seeks to Rescind 2020 Rule, Protect Union Status

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recently announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking of its intent to rescind a final rule adopted by the board in 2020 that addressed three important representation issues. The 2020 rule, which has been in effect since April 1, 2020, eliminated the so-called “blocking charge” tactic whereby a union could delay a representation election simply by filing an unfair labor practice charge.
