An Illinois federal judge denied the National Labor Relations Board an order that would've made a truck seller resume dealing with a union it rebuked twice, rejecting the board's argument that the company's first, questionably legal withdrawal of recognition caused the loss of faith that underlay the second.
A National Labor Relations Board judge cleared cannabis seller Curaleaf of claims that it answered an organizing drive by canning two workers but found it committed other labor violations, including more strictly enforcing attendance rules after workers demanded union recognition.
The state of New Jersey's discrimination lawsuit against a local union should be dismissed because it is preempted by federal labor law and was filed after the two-year statute of limitations expired, a state court judge heard Friday during a hearing.
