There were two major court challenges filed to stop the NLRB from moving forward with its quickie election rules. Developments in both of those cases indicate that the court system is unlikely to reverse the rules. Last month, the Western District Court of Texas threw out the lawsuit filed by the NFIB and Associated Buidling Contractors challenging the rules on privacy and free speech grounds. Although the lawsuit filed by United States Chamber of Commerce, SHRM and other groups is still pending, the District Court for the District of Columbia refused the request of the plaintiff’s to issue a temporary restraining order, indicating that it does not view the claims favorably.
