Labor Board Declines to Overrule “Beck Notice” Precedent

A union fulfilled its “ Beck Notice” obligations to a new employee even though it failed to disclose the “reduced fees and dues” the employee would incur if she declined to join the union under a union security clause at the same time it first informed the employee of her obligations under the clause, the National Labor Relations Board ruled by a 3–2 vote in United Food and Commercial Workers Union , 361 NLRB No. 39 (2014).
