The NLRB suspends its request for briefing regarding potential changes to the construction industry bargaining relationship in light of Charging Party Union's withdrawal of the underlying charge.
Seyfarth Synopsis: The NLRB suspends its request for
briefing regarding potential changes to the construction industry
bargaining relationship in light of Charging Party Union's
withdrawal of the underlying charge.
The review of whether to make changes to construction industry
bargaining relationship has been put on hold. As Seyfarth
reported, the NLRB had issued a request for amicus briefs on
what the standard should be to determine the majority status of
construction unions that have entered into pre-hire agreements,
which are permitted under the Act.
Because the Charging Party Union requested a withdrawal of the
underlying charge, the NLRB suspended the request for additional
briefs on October 15, 2018, pending the Board's decision on the
request for withdrawal. So, employers and unions alike will have to
wait and see before we receive additional clarity regarding
pre-hire agreements.
