Operative words
The purpose of this document is to postpone implementation of the rule during the National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak. The Board therefore delays the effective date from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. DATES: The effective date of the final rule published on April 1, 2020, at 85 FR 18366, is delayed from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020.... The Board has determined that a delayed effective date is required to allow the Board's employees and stakeholders to focus on continuity of their operations during the national emergency concerning the Coronavirus pandemic during the next several months, rather than on implementing and understanding the Board's new rule.
Enforcement
Board rules govern representation proceedings under NLRA sections 9 and 10
Notes
Companion to the Board's March 24, 2020 postponement of its 2019 representation-case procedures rule (Ex. 092) and the election suspension (Ex. 075).
