Must the Regional Director follow the precedents established by the Board Members, or may a Regional Director from time to time make a new and novel representation ruling with a regional perspective for consideration by the Board. Should the ruling be appealed?

Question 2

Does AB 1889 impose an equal restriction on employer and union speech about unionization?

Answer to Question 1

The Regional Director must follow the precedents set by the Board, and does not have the discretion, or wiggle room, to try out a new or novel representation ruling.

Answer to Question 2

No. AB 1889 imposes a targeted negative restriction on employer speech about unionization and does not even apply this constraint uniformly. AB 1889 exempts expenses incurred in connection with, inter alia, giving unions access to the workplace, and voluntarily recognizing unions with a secret ballot election.
