Summary

Fair Hearing Act - Amends the National Labor Relations Act to direct the National Labor Relations Board to provide for a hearing to determine the unit's appropriateness, if a petition for an election requests the Board to certify a bargaining unit which includes the employees employed at one or more facilities of a multi-facility employer, and there is an absence of agreement by the parties (in the form of a stipulation for certification upon consent election or agreement for consent election). Specifies factors for the Board to consider in making such determination.
