Of union elections tallied since the 2023 election rule took effect in December, 45% were tallied within 30 days of the filing of the petition, compared to only 13% in FY 2023.

Today's strong public support for unions has translated into more workers filing for union representation—union election petitions are up 27% over the last fiscal year and have more than doubled since FY 2021.

Frances Perkins was a trailblazer who revolutionized workers' rights– securing Social Security, the minimum wage, and banning child labor.
We're calling for a national monument to honor her legacy. It’s time she gets the recognition she deserves.

Today, the Board issued its Fair Choice–Employee Voice Final Rule, restoring three key policies that provide workers with a fair opportunity to decide whether they want union representation in the workplace and a process that respects workers’ choices.

“If you’re a company that wants to fight hard, the 5th Circuit is basically saying, 'Come on in, we’re happy to help you out'... To the extent that just delaying things and gumming up the works is part of the goal, that’s happened.” bloomberg.com/news/features/… @WorkLawProf
NEW @BW feature: Harassment became a joke at SpaceX a long time ago. Then, when NLRB alleged SpaceX fired engineers for raising concerns about its culture, Musk forced the government on defense. Next his tactics may weaken labor law enforcement nationwide bloomberg.com/news/features/…
