The Sixth District Court of Appeals has refused to enforce a landmark NLRB decision that Teamsters and other unions have used to organize the unorganized and stand up to employers who violate labor law.

The IBT has appointed a new Independent Investigations Officer (IIO) for a five-year term.  Judge Timothy S. Hillman, who serves as the Independent Election Supervisor, is now also the IIO. Judge Hillman replaces Robert Luskin who completed his five-year term.
