NLRB Issues Decision Defining “Supervisor”
The National Labor Relations Board has issued a decision in NLRB
v. Kentucky River Community Care, a Supreme Court
decision which considered how to define “supervisor” under
federal labor law. The decision is critical because supervisors
are not protected by the National Labor Relations Act, unlike
other employees who can organize and be protected by unions.
From all indications, the NLRB ruling will be used by employers
to strip millions of workers of their rights to have a union by
making an overly-broad determination of what constitutes “supervisory” work.
The IBEW General Counsel’s office is currently reviewing
the decision. We will post additional information after they
report on their review.
