Matt Austin, a Columbus-based attorney specializing in labor relations for the OMA, is warning employers about increased labor union organizing activity starting this week. In a post on LinkedIn, Austin noted the National Labor Relations Board chose the post-Christmas period to resurrect the Obama-era “ambush elections.” Meanwhile, the NLRB’s “quickie elections” rule took effect Dec. 26. This follows recent NLRB moves to impose card-check-like standards and allow “micro units” to organize, Austin wrote. 12/27/2023
