The National Labor Relations Board once again revived its effort of implementing new rules of making it simple for employees to form their unions. The recently proposed rules are quite similar to the ones that were given out in 2011, before they were quashed by a federal court due to procedural issues. The key to this new proposal is the ‘quickies election rule’ that will allow quick voting for union representation. The voting can take place in as less as ten days once the petition for organizing the polls is filed. On the other hand, it took around 42 days previously for the same, under the old guidelines of the NLRB for holding these elections.
