Proposed Rules
[[Page 11167]]
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
29 CFR Part 102
Rules and Procedures for the Implementation of Communications
Workers v. Beck, 487 U.S. 735 (1988)
AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.
ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NLRB is withdrawing the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
which was published in the Federal Register on September 22, 1992 (57
FR 43635). The notice proposed certain rules and procedures for the
implementation of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Communications
Workers v. Beck, 487 U.S. 735 (1988), and invited public comment on the
proposals. The Board, however, has since addressed many of the issues
addressed in the notice of proposed rulemaking in its recent decision
in California Saw and Knife Works, 320 NLRB No. 11 (December 20, 1995),
and in United Paperworkers (Weyerhaeuser Paper Co.), 320 NLRB No. 12
(December 20, 1995), and there are several additional cases currently
pending before the Board which will afford the Board the opportunity to
address many, if not all, of the remaining issues that are addressed in
the notice of proposed rulemaking. It is the Board's belief that those
issues may now be more expeditiously resolved in those cases than in
the rulemaking proceeding. Accordingly, the Board has decided to
withdraw the proposed rulemaking from active consideration and to
address, on a case-by-case basis through its adjudicatory procedures,
the issues raised following the Supreme Court's Beck decision.
DATES: The withdrawal of proposed rulemaking is effective March 19,
1996.
