The National Retail Federation today welcomed the National Labor
Relations Board’s decision to reverse an extreme ruling in
Specialty Healthcare that allowed union leaders to gerrymander
workplaces through “micro-unions.”
“On the heels of the ruling to overturn the expansive
joint-employer standard, this is another excellent decision by the
new NLRB,” NRF Senior Vice President for Government Relations David
French said. “The Obama-era board’s move to validate micro-unions
created division in workplaces, undermined retail operations and
limited opportunities for hardworking employees for the sole
purpose of empowering Big Labor. It’s clear this NLRB is serious
about restoring common sense to the rules governing America’s
workplaces.”
