NLRB Files Brief Supporting Unions’ Suit, Calling County Right-to-Work Laws Preempted
The National Labor Relations Board urged a federal district court in Kentucky to invalidate a county ordinance that prohibits the use of union-security provisions in collective bargaining agreements and regulates other practices that are either permitted or prohibited by federal law, reports Bloomberg BNA.
“Hardin County’s Ordinance 300 is preempted by the National Labor Relations Act, the board argued in a proposed amicus brief it submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The court is considering a lawsuit the United Auto Workers and other unions filed in January to challenge the ordinance,” the report says.
