NLRB to sue NY over state takeover of private-sector labor disputes, citing federal jurisdiction.
The National Labor Relations Board plans to sue New York after Governor Kathy Hochul signed a law transferring authority over private-sector labor disputes from the NLRB to the state’s Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), citing the NLRB’s lack of a quorum.
The NLRB argues the move undermines its core jurisdiction, challenging a 1959 Supreme Court precedent that federal law preempts state regulation of private-sector labor relations.
The law takes effect immediately and could remain in place until the NLRB regains a quorum, potentially allowing PERB to handle union elections and unfair labor practice cases.
A similar proposal is under consideration in California, which would grant its PERB authority over private-sector disputes if federal delays exceed six months or if the NLRB’s structure is challenged.
