An administrative law judge of the National Labor Relations Board has rejected the contention of the NLRB’s General Counsel that an employer bargained in bad faith by refusing to agree to the union’s “union security” (requiring all employees to join the union) and “dues checkoff” (requiring employees to have their union dues deducted from their paychecks) proposals during bargaining over an initial contract, despite failing to specifically explain to the union why.
