US labor movement celebrates new regulation to counter union-busting

NLRB framework means companies committing illegal acts during unionization efforts will be forced to bargain immediately

America's resurgent labor movement has won a useful victory with a decision by the National Labor Relations Board that will make unionization easier at firms that break the law while resisting organizing campaigns.

The new framework means companies that are found to have committed illegal acts during unionization-election efforts will be forced to immediately bargain with the union rather than just have to run the election again - which is what happened previously.
