Ombudspersons and the limits of the general counsel's authority under the National Labor Relations Act: an open letter to Fred Feinstein

Article Abstract:

National Labor Relation Board General Counsel Fred Feinstein's decision, set forth in "January to September 1995 Casehandling Report," not to issue a complaint on an ombudsperson issue raised in one case is inconsistent with case law and a misinterpretation of his role. As general counsel, it is not his responsibility to interpret section 8(a)(2) of the National Labor Relations Act. The Board is the sole administrative body charged with such authority. Feinstein is also mistaken in his belief that NLRB v. General Precision is not precedent for the case at issue.

10(j) injunctions: a shift in NLRB approach

Article Abstract:

The potential of the National Labor Relations Act section 10(j) has been realized by National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Fred Feinstein and so is more likely to be sought frequently. This section allows the Board to seek injunctive relief from unfair labor practices in court for the period that the Board is considering the case to prevent statutory rights from being permanently harmed. The more active use of this section may discourage questionable tactics in labor disputes.
