The United Steelworkers Remake NLRB Law In Two Landmark Cases - WNY Labor Today: Western New York's Regional Labor News Web Site

The United Steelworkers Remake NLRB Law In Two Landmark Cases - WNY Labor Today: Western New York's Regional Labor News Web Site: "In Lamons Gasket Company, the USW successfully prevailed upon the NLRB to overrule its Bush-era case of Dana Corp., which, in contravention of 50 years of prior NLRB and court law, had made it more difficult to obtain voluntary recognition from an employer.  In Lamons Gasket, the NLRB has now placed the law back in conformity with the original intent of Congress in passing the National Relations Labor Act (NLRA) “to promote Union Organizing and Collective Bargaining by workers."

In Specialty Health Care, the USW successfully prevailed upon the Board to permit Unions to more freely choose the types of bargaining units they wish to organize, specifically allowing the USW to organize a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)-Only Unit at a Non-Acute Care Nursing Home Facility.
