The Senate today passed a joint resolution offered by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) to stop the National Labor Relations Board from implementing its “ambush election” rule. The rule was finalized in December to shorten the length of time in which a labor union certification election is held—currently a median 38 days—to as little as 11 days. The senators introduced the resolution under the Congressional Review Act last month, and it is the first step in halting implementation of this rule.
