Can you link me to the NLRB thing, Mrs S deals with them on a daily basis almost.
She’s been in court all day and I know she hasn’t heard that yet.
More hope and change
The Obama National Labor Relations Board moved to eliminate secret ballot election protections this week. The NLRB removed barriers that enabled workers to protect themselves from union bosses bullying and coercive tactics.
Matthew Boyle at The Daily Caller reported:
On Tuesday the National Labor Relations Board announced three new decisions that industry experts say will likely hurt the economy and cost American jobs.
The first and likely most controversial NLRB ruling overturned a 2007 decision that gave workers nationwide the right to protect themselves from union bosses bullying and coercive tactics with secret ballot elections.
Via its newly-decided Lamons Gasket case, the NLRB eliminated the 2007 Dana Corp ruling, which the National Right to Work Foundation said protected workers from coercive practices union organizers often used to bully or mislead employees.
The Dana Corp. decision allowed workers the opportunity to request a secret ballot election within a 45-day window following a card-check organizing effort. Card-check organizing efforts are when union bosses try to get workers theyre targeting to sign cards indicating they want to have a union election.
What union bosses often neglect to tell workers is that if enough workers sign cards, theres no need for an election. Theyd already be unionized.
The Obama Labor Boards ruling to kill the Dana Corp. precedent that allows workers a secret ballot vote to kick out a union that gained control of the workplace in an abusive card check campaign adds to an already exhaustive list of paybacks from the Obama Administration to Big Labor, NRTW Foundation president Mark Mix said in a statement. Big Labor and its allies have launched a full-scale assault on worker freedom and the Obama Administration is working tirelessly to appease them through bureaucratic means after they failed in Congress.
