Eighth Circuit Rejects NLRB's "Novel" Interpretation of Union Solicitation Under the NLRA | Practical Law
In ConAgra Foods, Inc. v. NLRB, the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held that a categorical rule that an employee must actually present a union authorization card to employees for signature in order to engage in solicitation was unreasonable, and that an employee engages in solicitation when the employee makes a statement intended to obtain a signed union authorization card as part of a related group of interactions seeking support for union organization.
