[lbo-talk] NLRB rules on Wobbly election in MN

[Mark Rickling]

Huh? There's still no certified union at the workplace. To run another
election the union has to expend resources again, which could be
considerable given turnover in the restaurant industry. Many union
supporters are likely discouraged after having not won the election.
And the boss, who generally speaking has more resources than the
union, is free to run another union-busting campaign if the union
decides to try again. Hard to see how this could be a victory.

We get plenty of close losing election results overturned by the
board, only never to run the units again.
