Comments on joint petition rule

NLRB is proposing a new type of petition for election.
[Federal Register notice (02/26/2008)]

This would result in a new form of consent election, featuring a joint union-employer petition, eliminating a requirement of a showing of interest, not allowing unfair labor practice charges to block the election, and allowing final resolution of disputes to be made by the Regional Director.

The Board asked for written comments. Here you go:

• Bruce Buchanan, an attorney with King & Ballow Law Firm
• California Nurses Association
• Catholic Healthcare Partners
• Center on National Labor Policy
• Chamber of Commerce of the United States
• HR Policy Association
• Jackson Lewis Law Firm
• Massachusetts Nurses Association
• National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, Inc.
