Associated Builders and Contractors of Texas claims a new rule issued by the National Labor Relations Board exceeds the statutory authority of the federal agency, which regulates union and employer activities.
The complaint, filed Jan. 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, specifically cites a new NLRB rule with a “primary purpose and effect … to accelerate the timetable of union representation elections, in particular by shortening the time allowed for employers to contest the appropriateness of the petition in pre-election hearings, and in some instances disallowing such hearings altogether on such fundamental questions as who is eligible to vote.”
