By Kevin Bogardus/The Hill

If Brian Hayes resigns, it would effectively quash a long-sought change to union election rules.

The labor movement is crying foul over a resignation threat from a member of the National Labor Relations Board that would effectively quash a long-sought change to union election rules.

NLRB member Brian Hayes has threatened to resign because of a proposed rule that would speed up union elections, according to a Nov. 21 letter from Democratic NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce.
