NLRB Overturns MV Transportation and Reestablishes the Successor Bar Doctrine | Practical Law

In UGL-UNICCO Co., the National Labor Review Board (NLRB) overruled MV Transportation and reinstated the previously rejected successor bar doctrine. The five-member panel (Board) also modified the contract bar doctrine as applied to successor employer collective bargaining. This decision will likely entrench incumbent unions through mergers and acquisitions more than previous law would have allowed.
