What this bill would do
The NLRB Stability Act seeks to change the National Labor Relations Act to make Board orders more stable. It prevents Board orders from conflicting with decisions made by the U.S. court of appeals in the circuit where the unfair labor practice allegedly happened. The bill also simplifies the venue for petitions.
