 Oct. 17, 2024 | ORGANIZING | Unions filed twice as many petitions seeking to hold elections over the last year than they did in 2021, the National Labor Relations Board said on Tuesday, due in part to a nationwide surge in organizing in industries that have long been union-free. The NLRB said it had received 3,286 election petitions in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, a 27% increase from last year and more than double the 1,638 petitions filed in fiscal year 2021, when Democratic President Joe Biden took office. The board also said it had received about 21,300 complaints alleging illegal labor practices, a 7% increase from 2023 and the highest total since 2016. Reuters News Agency
