Gordon Loy, a Journeyman Lineman,
passed away 3/26/18. He was 79
years old and a 58 year member.
Three years ago, the National
Labor Relations Board took modest
steps to streamline, modernize and
improve the process by which
workers petition for an election to
vote on forming a union at work.
The rules reduced unnecessary
delay caused by management law-
yers litigating issues in order to
slow down elections and deprive
workers of their right to vote.
Under the rules, workers get
to vote two weeks sooner—the
median time from petition to elec-
tion is 23
days, com-
pared with 38
days under the
old rules. This
shows that the
goal of reduc-
ing unneces-
sary delay has been met.
Unfortunately, the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce and other
corporate interests have been
campaigning to get rid of
the rules, saying they are unfair to
businesses. First they tried law-
suits—and lost, with the rules up-
held in full by courts in Washing-
ton, D.C., and Texas. Then the
Chamber and their allies tried to
block the rules with legislative
action, which has so far failed.
But now three Republican ap-
pointees to the NLRB are asking
for public comments on whether
the rules should be changed. The
two Democratic appointees to the
NLRB—Mark Gaston Pearce and
Lauren McFerran—disagree, say-
ing the rules have worked well and
there is no reason to change them.
The NLRB took public com-
ments until April 18 on whether it
should change the 2014 rules. Add
your voice to the growing chorus
telling the NLRB to keep the rules.
When: Saturday May 12th @
12:00 Noon
Where: Local 769 Hall
Join fellow members, fami-ly and friends for a day of sun and tons of fun. We will have a Jumpy House, Horse-shoe Tourna-ment, Raffle, Music and free food and drink. We hope to see you there!
