House Committee Advances Bills Seeking to Block NLRB Election Rule

During a Wednesday markup session, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce voted along party lines in favor of sending to the House floor two bills that would effectively prevent the National Labor Relations Board from moving forward with its proposed expedited or “ambush” election rule in its current form. According to Chairman John Kline (R-MN), the two bills “provide an appropriate government response” to the Board’s proposed rule.
