A group of business trade groups filed a lawsuit this week to block a new rule from the National Labor Relations Board to expedite employee votes on joining unions, the Wall Street Journal's Melanie Trottman reports. The plaintiffs say the new rule, adopted by the board 3-2, "could deprive employers of time they need to tell workers why they think a company should remain union-free and limit their ability to launch timely legal challenges."
The five plaintiffs include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Retail Federation, and the Society for Human Resource Management.
