U.S. House votes to block rule to speed up unionizing workers

Defying the threat of a veto from the White House, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives Thursday voted to block a government labor agency from adopting rules that would speed up the time it takes to unionize workers. The National Labor Relations Board adopted the rules last year and they are set to take effect April 14. The NLRB and Democrats who support the new process say it was designed to rein in misconduct by a minority of employers who draw out the union election process
