About the Micro-Union Decision:
Micro-unions are the result of the NLRB’s 2011 Specialty Healthcare decision.
The micro-unions decision redefines what the NLRB views as a proper bargaining unit and allows union organizers to gerrymander a workplace by cherry-picking small groups of employees within a larger workforce to form a micro-union.
The micro-unions decision overturns more than 50 years of precedent and would create division in the workplace, increase operational complexities and costs, while also depriving employees of the flexibility and cross-training opportunities they seek.
For example, under the micro-union decision organizers could cherry-pick a small segment of employees within one department of one location and target them in an organizing campaign. In fact, this has already happened.
As predicted, the NLRB has recently applied the Specialty Healthcare standard beyond the original scope of non-acute healthcare facilities. The Board and it’s regional directors have cleared the way for micro unions in a variety of industry sectors, including the women’s shoe department at a Bergdorf Goodman store, maintenance employees at a Nestle-Dryer Ice Cream plant, and behind the counter employees at a DTG car rental location.
Given the process by which the NLRB reached the micro-union decision, a representation case, those who stand to be negatively affected have little immediate recourse. Legislative action is the only way to halt widespread application of the decision while legal appeals progress.
Attn Media - Please consider joining tomorrow's conference call including the National Restaurant Association's Vice President of Labor and Workforce Policy, Angelo Amador.
