Texas federal judge blocks US labor board rule that makes it easier for workers to unionize

A federal judge in Texas has blocked a new rule by the National Labor Relations Board that would have made it easier for millions of workers to form unions at big companies.

Under the current NLRB rule, passed by a Republican-dominated board in 2020, a company like McDonald’s isn’t considered a joint employer of most workers since franchisees directly employ them. The NLRB argued a change is necessary because the current rule makes it too easy for companies to avoid their legal responsibility to bargain with workers.

In his decision Friday granting the plaintiffs’ motion for a summary judgment, U.S. District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker concluded that the NLRB’s new rule would be “contrary to law” and “arbitrary and capricious” regarding how it would change the existing rule.Helicopter carrying National Guardsmen and Border Patrol agent crashes in Texas, killing 3
