A new memo from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) general counsel (GC) represents a continuation of efforts to promote unionization, according to attorneys who help guide employers through union campaigns.
NLRB GC Jennifer Abruzzo on April 27 announced an initiative aimed at promoting collective bargaining through partnering with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). The initiative encourages unions and employers to use the FMCS services, “including mediation, training, and card counts to show majority support,” the announcement says.
