Employer Lawfully Failed to Fully Respond to Repetitive, Burdensome Union Info Requests: NLRB | Practical Law
In United Parcel Service of America, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) affirmed that an employer did not violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when it failed to provide all information a union requested allegedly in aid of a lunch-break grievance. Although much of the requested information was presumptively relevant, the employer's incomplete production was justified because the requests were unduly burdensome and overbroad, and the union failed to address the employer's requests for possible accommodations.
