Has the National Labor Relations Board ever prosecuted a labor union for murder, assault, intimidation, extortion, destruction of private property, or any other criminal offense?

Scary indeed. So, Walmart and Walmart workers who don't want to be unionized have no choice?

Nationalizing America - as Walmart goes, so goes the country.

Punishment of success is the action of choice for this administration.

I’m not cheering this move at all—but I must say I was in Walmart yesterday, and dealt with an employee who most assuredly (IMO) should be fired.

This person was rude, did not know the answer to my question about where the item I wanted was located, and more or less brushed me off.

I have found an employee like this one to be the exception rather than the rule in our local Walmart, though.

Yeah, my local Wal-Mart is excellent . . . it appears to be run by Sikhs. That being said, I’ve seen the horror stories.

Do you now understand why we are sending our jobs overseas?

“Tiffany Beroid, a Walmart worker from Laurel, Md., explained why the workers are standing up:”

Maybe if Tiffany had an education and half a brain, she could do something better the working at Walmart.

The NLRB has become a criminal enterprise and operating arm of Obama’s operatives and the progressive Democrat party. It specializes in shakedowns, threats and intimidation.

Someone presently will be by to explain to you that your taxes aren't high enough.

Unions turn private employees into government employees.

They better hurry. Obama will be ushered off the stage very soon, by even the farthest-left liberal lawmakers, who will vote to impeach AND CONVICT.

Obamacare is crashing, and badly, and this will be horrific.

obliviously, the demand for Bribery wasn't
complied with (or maybe not enough).

threatened and discouraged workers from going on legally-protected strikes


How do non-union workers go on “legally-protected strikes”?

This was in the cards when Richard Griffin became General Counsel. This was my letter to my Senators opposing it.

Senator XXXXX,

Please vote against cloture on the nomination of radical union lawyer Richard Griffin to be the next General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.

Over the summer a handful of Republican Senators joined every Democrat to let Barack Obama pack the labor board with union militants literally and publicly chosen by AFL-CIO czar Richard Trumka. The ONLY thing those Republicans got out of the "deal" was that Obama would not re-nominate Richard Griffin and Sharon Block to be members of the Board. So what did Obama do? He nominated Griffin for a different job at the Board -- the General Counsel -- the office in charge of prosecuting unfair labor practices by both unions and management.

Griffin is currently being investigated for attempting to cover up embezzlement at the International Union of Operating Engineers by firing employees who tried to expose the crime. It's outrageous that someone under investigation for such a crime would even be considered for a position with all of the power associated with the General Counsel position. If Griffin is willing to illegally silence employees to protect Big Labor's unlawful practices, as he's accused of doing, how much worse will he be as the officer in charge of prosecuting unfair labor practices?

The NLRB is supposed to be a quasi-judicial, independent agency, staffed with people who can interpret the law and deal with cases honestly and fairly. Richard Griffin doesn't even come close to meeting that standard.

Freedom, justice and basic common sense all dictate that you oppose this nomination.

Just think, once that rude Walmart employee becomes Unionized, Walmart can’t fire him/her. They can be as rude as they want, then.
