About Sobol & Sobol PC
With over 40 years of experience, Sobol & Sobol has built a solid reputation based upon aggressive representation. Our attorneys are licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
We represent management in all aspects of union relations, including aggressively countering union organizing campaigns in pro-employer campaigns, winning National Labor Relations Act elections, negotiating union contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and protecting clients during strikes and picketing. We routinely defend clients against unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board and state agencies, and arbitrate grievances under existing collective bargaining agreements.
We are experienced in counseling employers during major corporate changes, such as mergers, acquisitions, shutdowns or relocations, in an effort to limit withdrawal liability from multi-employer pension funds, and in dealing with successorship obligations.
We also represent clients in various other employment law matters.
Event Synopsis:
In December 2014, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) implemented a final rule amending the agency’s representation-case procedures. The ‘ambush election’ rules, which govern the procedures for union representation elections, went into effect on April 14, 2015. The rule would dramatically shorten the duration between a union’s filing of a petition to represent workers and the holding of a vote. This ‘ambush’ election rule would constrain employers seeking to respond to union organizer arguments; among other issues.
The new rules constitute the most sweeping regulatory change ever implemented by the Board. The rules will favor unions by enabling union elections in 10 to 21 days after the union requests a vote, and almost eliminate most employer rights during the representation case process. The new rules now make it easier for unions to organize all employers in any industry. Other changes include disputes over voter eligibility and bargaining unit inclusion or exclusion will be delayed until after an election, and pre-election hearings must start eight days after the date petition filing.
Union officials understandably favor the new rule since less that 7% of the US private sector work force is unionized. Many companies see the new rule as a license to muzzle worksite opponents, un-necessary, and exceeding the board’s authority.
Companies and unions will come to logger-heads over the new rules. Companies need to plan carefully to address the new rules and plan for compliance and mitigation of litigation risks.
Agenda:
NRLB Ambush Election Rules
Expedited Union Elections (10-21 Days)
Voter Eligibility Issues Deferred
Expedited Hearings and NLRB Position Statements
Lists of Employees for the Union
Countering Ambush Elections
