Union Waived Right to Bargain Over Pension Plan Changes: NLRB | Practical Law
In a decision dated December 30, 2011, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decided in Omaha World-Herald that a union, under the terms of its collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the company, waived its right to object to the employer's changes to its pension plan. Separately, the NLRB found that union had not waived its right to bargain over subsequent changes to the employer's 401(k) plan after the expiration of the CBA.
