In other NLRB news, seven labor unions have asked the board for bargaining rights with corporations, even if a minority of employees is represented at the workplace. In a New York Times article, Southern Methodist University Labor Law Professor Charles J. Morris said that bargaining with a union, even if only a minority is represented, is required under the National Labor Relations Act. The unions are arguing that the Act says employers do not have to bargain with a union as representative of all employees, but only for those employees in the union.
