House Probe Faults Labor Board Mail Ballot Elections

Education and the Workforce Committee Chair Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said the NLRB has been beset by “gross irregularities” and myriad other problems since a November 2020 decision by the board to increase the number of elections by mail rather than secret ballot, onsite elections.
