NLRB election video

The NLRB has posted a video (in English and Spanish) which details the NLRB representation election process. It  presents a detailed step by step account of the process. It is a thorough, objective primer on the details of the way things are supposed to be. While it provides an objective overview, it does little to prepare a viewer for the reality of a contested election.  Nevertheless it is a good overview for anyone needing to understand how the NLRB addresses the election process. I intend to use it in my labor law course, and it will be 20 minutes well spent.

NLRB announces . . . .

The NLRB's General Counsel's office has issued two Operations Management memorandum. The first sets the interest rate on back pay awards at 4%. The second announces a digital video for the public "that dramatically portrays representation case processing." This ought to be helpful in basic labor law courses. Doubtless it also is designed to counter some of the anecdotal criticism focusing on long delays favoring employers in representation matters.  With EFCA looming will version 2.0 be necessary soon?
