WASHINGTON (AP) - Labor regulators are set to propose sweeping new rules Tuesday that would dramatically speed up the time frame for union elections, a move that could make it easier for struggling unions to organize new members, and cut the time businesses have to mount anti-union campaigns.

A copy of the planned rules, to be announced by the National Labor Relations Board, was obtained by The Associated Press. The proposal is expected to irritate Republicans and business groups who have complained about the board's pro-labor actions.

Most labor elections currently take place within 45-60 days after a union gathers enough signatures to file a petition, a time many companies use to discourage workers from unionizing. The new plan could cut that time by days or even weeks—depending on the case—by simplifying procedures, deferring litigation and setting shorter deadlines for hearings and filings.

How’s that Amalgamated Taxpaying Slaves Union working out?

Just a little weapon for fighting the unions if you don't mind. As always check the information out for yourselves.

The unionists are always calling us Nazis for wanting to outlaw the unions like Hitler did. The only problem is that Hitler disbanded the Weimar unions and forced them to reorganize under the German Labor Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF). The DAF was made up 2 primary entities, the National Socialist Factory Organization and the National Socialist Trade and Industry Organization.

Its also important to see the symbol of the DAF to get an idea of the reality of nazi unionists.



I urge everyone to research this stuff and arm yourselves with the knowledge so we can spread the truth far and wide.

And of course you will need a way to speed up the process...

why not let the union thugs hand deliver your vote, and the nice, helpful goons will even wait while you fill it out... and show you where to check YES and explain to you hows they think you would be smart to vote FOR the union

[ConservaTexan]

Øbama thinks this is what “...in Order to form a more perfect Union...” is all about.

[Siena Dreaming]

Looks like they know they’re losing on the public unions front (ex: Wisconsin) so are pouring more of their energies back into the private ones again.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

The U.S. is finished, as a capitalistic country. Please, prove me wrong on this.

[nascarnation]

Why not emulate Greece?

It’s working so well, right?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Thank you Tokyo Rose.

Looks like they know they’re losing on the public unions front

If you recall a while back, Glenn Beck exposed the recording of SEIU bigwig Scott Learner. Behind closed doors he admitted that unions in America are finished.

[Second Amendment First]

So they want to speed up elections?

Meanwhile the NLRB has stopped posting election results until September.

And thus speed up the exodus of U.S. businesses to other countries.

“Looks like they know they’re losing on the public unions front (ex: Wisconsin) so are pouring more of their energies back into the private ones again.”

And they lost in their latest attempt to unionize a Target store.

[Erik Latranyi]

Yup. I am waiting for this administration to nationalize private-sector unions as a means to give them the same powers as public-sector unions.

[Second Amendment First]

Yep, they're really pushing right now, but don't want anyone to know how badly they're failing:

Election Reports

Please note: The National Labor Relations Board is in the process of moving all regional offices to an agency-wide uniform case processing system, which will result in more efficient processing and ensure more consistent and up-to-date case information. During this transition period, from April through September 2011, the monthly election reports will not be available. All election reports for that period will be compiled and posted here by October 2011. In addition, the tables will be simplified and will no longer include information about a union’s affiliation with the AFL-CIO. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For further information, please contact the NLRB’s Office of Public Affairs at publicinfo@nlrb.gov.

These Marxist bastards are going all in.

This administration needs to be tied up with litigation and Congressional hearings until the next election. They are gangsters.

“And thus speed up the exodus of U.S. businesses to other countries.”

On top of the fact that we already have near 20% unemployment (and illegal immigrants taking jobs from Americans).

Another job-killing move by the Job Killer in the White House.

F*ck them. Our nation will not survive another 4 years.
