NLRB Overrules M.B. Sturgis
An important representation issue under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) involves scenarios where the scope of a bargaining unit is proposed to include both an employer's regular workers and employees supplied by a separate employer, such as a staffing agency. Just over 4 years ago in M. B. Sturgis, 331 NLRB 1298 (2000), the Board stated that “a growing number of employees who are part of what is commonly described as the 'contingent work force' are being effectively denied representational rights guaranteed them under the National Labor Relations Act.” Therefore, the Board majority in Sturgis – -consisting of Chairman Truesdale and Members Fox and Liebman — overruled prior precedent in Lee Hospital, 300 NLRB 947 (1990) and Greenhoot, Inc., 205 NLRB 250 (1973), and held that a bargaining unit could include both regular and supplied employees without the consent of both the regular employer and the supplier employer.
