In a legal update by John B. Dudrey of Barran Liebman, it is detailed that the United States District Court for the District of Columbia refuses the enforcement of new NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) rules surrounding private sector union elections and campaigns. This resulted from a lack of support by then-board member Hayes. These new rules ultimately

“[shortened] the timeline for elections to occur and [limited] the issues that can be litigated before an election takes place as opposed to through a post-election challenge procedure.”

However, an appeal can be made and the rules could once more return. It’s a waiting-game now.
