Most labor relations professionals will recall the sea change in union election procedures announced by the National Labor Relations Board in 2014. Commonly referred to as the “quickie election rules,” the new procedures added significant information‐disclosure burdens on employers. They also significantly reduced the time between when a union filed a petition for an election and the Board ordered the election to be held. For example, in one recent case, the NLRB scheduled an election to take place less than a week after it directed the election.
