With the change in administrations, we have been reminding employers that more union‐friendly interpretations of labor law are to be expected as we exit 2021 and move through 2022. Now, it seems, change may be coming more quickly than predicted as the current, Republican‐majority National Labor Relations Board appears to have reversed course on a potential relaxation of the rules that could have made it easier for unionized employees to petition for decertification of the union as their bargaining agent. The Board had earlier signaled it was considering changing these rules.
