Court Invalidates NLRB’s “Ambush Election” Rule

A federal district court judge invalidated the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB's) controversial "ambush election" rule yesterday, ruling that the Board had lacked a three-member quorum needed to pass the rule last December. The ruling followed a failed Congressional attempt to halt the rule, and came just two weeks after the rule became effective on April 30th.  For more information, see the article written by my colleagues Brian Mumaugh and Brad Williams.
