2022 was a high point for tech industry unionizing, but experts say a recent National Labor Relations Board decision will kick organizing efforts in the sector into overdrive.
The Democrat-controlled NLRB’s ruling in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific LLC, issued last Thursday, forces employers to respond much more quickly to unionizing efforts than they have in the past, and it provides a path for workers to unionize without having to vote, with the burden of blocking those efforts falling on companies.
