A U.S. appeals court on Friday dismissed a bid by construction trade groups to block controversial Obama administration rules designed to speed up union elections, saying the National Labor Relations Board had broad authority to implement them.
Until the rule was passed, companies used delaying tactics to put off union elections in order to give them time to intimidate their workers. No more.
