U.S. Chamber urges Second Circuit to overturn NLRB bargaining order
January 24, 2017
The U.S. Chamber filed an amicus brief urging the Second Circuit to overturn a National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) decision that infringes the free speech rights of employers. The brief argues that the NLRB’s imposition of a bargaining order overriding election results, based in significant part on protected, non-threatening speech by the employer, violates longstanding precedent and could have a chilling effect on other employers’ free speech rights.
This brief was filed jointly with the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace.
Maurice Baskin of Littler Mendelson, P.C. served as counsel for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center.
