NLRB to Speed Up Union Elections

Good news here:

The labor board is proposing to tighten up the process by ensuring that employers, employees and unions receive needed information sooner and by delaying litigation over many voter-eligibility issues until after workers vote on whether to unionize.

This will help undermine anti-union activities by companies, limiting their ability to engage in the kind of long, drawn out unionbusting campaigns that have undermined elections in the past decade. It’s not going to save the world, but it’s the kind of useful change one expects from a Democratic president.
