D.C. Circuit: NLRB Can Award Unions Bargaining Expenses

[ABFwife]

This is great! Hit them where it counts!

Employers who engage in unfair labor practices can be forced to pay a union’s bargaining expenses, a federal appeals court ruled Friday, a move that could helped organized labor by tamping down on the practice going forward.

In a unanimous ruling by the D.C. Circuit, the court ruled the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) can order the reimbursement of bargaining expenses like it did when it determined two Illinois nursing homes under the same ownership must do so.

“An award of bargaining expenses remedies an unfair labor practice by ensuring that, upon resolution of the unfair labor practice charge, the injured party can return to negotiations on the same footing it occupied before the violation of the [Labor Relations] Act occurred,” Judge Karen LeCraft wrote as part of the decision.
