House Committee Considers Legislation to Rein in NLRB

On Oct. 12, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing on the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act, H.R. 3094. The bill would roll back recent actions by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) by blocking it from moving forward with its "quickie election" proposal as well as reverse the NLRB's recent decision opening the door for “micro-unions”. The committee examined the bill which would restrict the NLRB, or any future NLRB, from violating the National Labor Relations Act and circumventing Congress in the union election process. AGC joined the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace in a letter of support. The bill could be considered by the House before the end of the year.
