The “Kentucky River” cases which are waiting a ruling from the National Labor relation board are catching the attention of media and workers outside of the labor movement partly because the ruling can be so deterimental to the ability of workers to organize their workplace. One of the cases in the decision hinges on the classification of six nurses in Kentucky who were reclassified as “supervisors” by their hospital as an act to deny bargaining rights to the workers. Jordan Barab provides the background and significance of the upcoming ruling.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is set to rule on a series of cases collectively known as “Kentucky River,” which will determine whether nurses can be considered “supervisors.” Supervisors, traditionally considered to be employees who could hire, fire and discipline other employees, are not allowed to join unions, according to American labor law.
