The National Labor Relations Board, the main federal labor law enforcement agency, issued a ruling Tuesday that will make it easier for employers to alter provisions in a labor contract without the union’s permission.

In a win for employers, the board said in a case called M.V. Transportation that even if the underlying contract doesn’t explicitly allow a change and the union objects to it, the employer may still adopt it.
