The government should not be involved with labor/employer relations as that is a civil matter and the government must never take sides in any form.
One ray of subshine. Good to see.
Is the NLRB still run by Obama’s illegal recess appointments. If it is why hasn’t the Congress done something about it?
So, can employers put up the notice that employees can opt out of the political contribution portion of their dues?
Pffft. So.... even with the time this rule has been in place, exactly how many young adults and high school students have emerged to become union organizers?
Though I have to admit, I don’t quite understand it. There are already a half-dozen Federally mandated posters you must post in your break room. Why this one is any different, or the others don’t violate the First Amendment, makes no sense to me.
Only Congress can violate 1st Amendment imo. This is evidenced by the fact that the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarifiy that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress. So Congress has a constituton monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not.
In other words, constitutonally undefined "independent federal regulatory agencies" like the NLRB, EPA, etc., shouldn't even exist imo. Such agencies not only wrongly protect unelected federal bureaucrats who exercise regulatory powers, powers which the Constitution prohibits them from having, from the wrath of the voters in defiance of the statutes referenced above, but consider the following. Such agencies can also be regarded as a smoke-and-mirrors way for corrupt Congress to unconstitutionally expand its powers by wrongly ignoring its Article V requirement to petition the states for specific new powers via constitutional amendments. After all, the states have never delegated to Congress the specific power to regulate labor as the NLRB is doing, or to regulate environment as EPA is doing.
