Employers Brace For Impact Of New NLRB Election Rule

Steve Bernstein was quoted in Law360 on April 14, 2015. The article “Employers Brace For Impact Of New NLRB Election Rule” addressed some potential pitfalls under the NLRB's elections regulations of which employers should be aware.    

Steve said,“Now, we have a whole new list of ways that employers can get burned, so to speak, by their failure to comply,” Steve said.

The rule will now allow for petitions to be served electronically, which raises the possibility that what might be a crucially important email message to be lost in the shuffle, Steve said.

Employers also now face a 48-hour deadline to post and disseminate a notice for petition of election after a notice of hearing is served, and failure to do that can jeopardize the results of an election, Steve said.
