Chamber submits comment opposing NLRB proposed rule to shorten union campaigns

The Kentucky Chamber submitted a comment to the National Labor Relations Board opposing a proposed regulation that would drastically reduce the amount of time employers can respond to a union election campaign, from about 40 days to 10-15 days. Unions support these ambush elections because they significantly limit the ability of employers to counter union rhetoric to employees. The rule would also require employers to turn over to unions all voting employees’ names, mailing addresses and work email addresses.
