NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
29 CFR Part 103
Rules Regarding Standardized Remedial Provisions in Board Unfair
Labor Practice Decisions and the Appropriateness of Single Location
Bargaining Units in Representation Cases
AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.
ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rulemakings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NLRB is indefinitely withdrawing from active consideration
two rulemaking proceedings: (1) The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
issued on March 5, 1992 entitled Codification of Standardized Remedial
Provisions in Board Decisions Regarding Offers of Reinstatement, Make-
Whole Remedies, Computation of Interest, and Posting of Notices (57 FR
7897); and (2) the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of
Proposed
[[Page 8891]]
Rulemaking issued on June 2, 1994 (59 FR 28501) and September 28, 1995
(60 FR 50146), respectively, entitled Appropriateness of Requested
Single Location Bargaining Units in Representation Cases. The Board \1\
has decided to take this action given that no action has been taken by
the Board on either rulemaking proceeding for several years \2\ and the
Board's determination to focus its time and resources on reducing the
backlog of adjudicated cases pending before the Board.
\1\ Members Fox, Liebman, Hurtgen and Brame. Chairman Gould
agrees with his colleagues as to the notice of proposed rulemaking
regarding standardized remedial orders in Board unfair labor
practice decisions, but dissents from the withdrawal of the notice
of proposed rulemaking regarding the appropriateness of single
location bargaining units in representation cases.
\2\ A Congressional rider attached to each of the NLRB's 1996,
1997, and 1998 appropriations bills has prohibited the Agency from
expending any funds to promulgate a final rule regarding the
appropriateness of single location bargaining units in
representation cases.
