More: The Economic Policy Institute has a news brief on the upcoming Kentucky River decision.

If the NLRB accedes to the demands the employers are making in these cases to significantly broaden the definition of “supervisor,” hundreds of thousands of employees could be stripped of their contract protections and millions more across the economy could be denied the right to form unions or engage in collective bargaining.
