NLRB Announces New Measures to Obtain Relief Under Section 10(j)

The National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel has released a memo detailing efforts to increase the effectiveness of the agency’s regional offices in obtaining relief, the NLRB said Thursday.

Charged parties will be given the opportunity to voluntarily agree to an interim agreement that includes remedies, such as reinstating alleged discriminatees or agreeing to bargain. If the parties do not reach a settlement on interim relief, and if it would be futile to seek such a settlement, the region may take all appropriate actions, including seeking authorization to petition for injunctive relief in federal district court, the agency said.
