"Quickie" Election Rule Struck Down
The National Mining Association (NMA) and allied organizations that comprise the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace have succeeded in setting aside an ill-conceived rule from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The US District Court of the District of Columbia struck down NLRB’s so-called “quickie” elections rule. The “quickie” elections rule would have eliminated the current 25-day grace period between the request for an election and the holding of an election. The rule also limited the issues and evidence that can be presented at a pre-election hearing denying employers due process and allowing important questions to remain unresolved prior to a union representation election.
