March 19, 2020 – Due to the extraordinary circumstances related to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the National Labor Relations Board today approved the
suspension of all representation elections, including mail ballot elections,
for the next two weeks effective immediately, through and including April 3,
2020.
The Board deems this action
necessary to ensure the health and safety of our employees, as well as those
members of the public who are involved in the election process. Moreover, given
the closure of several Regional Offices and limited operations and significant
telework at others, the Board does not believe that it is possible to
effectively conduct elections at this time.
The Board will continue to
monitor this evolving situation and determine whether additional extension of
this suspension may be necessary.
Established
in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency
that protects employees, employers, and unions from unfair labor practices and
protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or
without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB
conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair
labor practice charges each year.
