No more Jobs?

Amer­i­cans are con­cerned about the NLRB and its rad­i­cal agen­da to cause pover­ty and loss of jobs. 

You might won­der what they are up to and why they seem so set on destroy­ing more jobs, its sim­ple real­ly if you have two peo­ple work­ing for a total of 20.00 per hour, Ten dol­lars per hour per per­son. 

If we see the changes pro­posed, there will be one per­son with a great pay­ing hourly job, but sad­ly the num­ber of hours avail­able to work will be much less. 

You see what is hap­pen­ing in the mar­ket­place, the more these pro­gres­sives attempt to play God the less jobs there are. 

Nation­al Labor Rela­tions Board (NLRB) is at it again.

You may remem­ber that in 2011, after Big Labor’s Card Check Forced Union­ism Bill stalled in Con­gress, the NLRB pro­posed a “card check lite” scheme — also known as ambush elec­tions — to grease the skids to force work­ers under union-boss con­trol.

When the NLRB solicit­ed com­ments about the pro­posed rule from the pub­lic, I sound­ed the alarm to Right to Work sup­port­ers like you.

Over 65,000 com­ments poured in — the vast major­i­ty against the pro­posed scheme.

In fact, after only 17,000 com­ments had been filed, one for­mer Board mem­ber told the press that he has­n’t seen the pub­lic turn up the heat on the NLRB like that in almost 40 years.

But despite the firestorm of protest, the Oba­ma Labor Board went ahead with the scheme any­way.

The two for­mer union lawyers who then com­posed a major­i­ty of the Board were so des­per­ate to ram through the rule, they did­n’t even both­er to let the dis­sent­ing Board Mem­ber vote, so the rad­i­cal rule change was struck down in fed­er­al court.

Now, with a ful­ly-stocked NLRB, they’re gear­ing up to impose the rad­i­cal rule change once again and have set a dead­line to receive com­ments by Mon­day, April 7.

I want to flood the NLRB with your peti­tions and com­ments and even smash your record-break­ing out­cry from three years ago. 

The NLR­B’s pro­posed new elec­tion guide­lines are designed to make union cer­ti­fi­ca­tion elec­tions as one-sided as pos­si­ble by:

** Encour­ag­ing union oper­a­tives to con­duct stealth orga­niz­ing cam­paigns for months or even years until they col­lect “union autho­riza­tion cards” from just 30 per­cent of the work­force;

** Ambush­ing the rest of the work­force with quick-snap elec­tions just days after union orga­niz­ers turn the cards in to the NLRB;

** Deny­ing work­ers suf­fi­cient time to counter union-boss pro­pa­gan­da, edu­cate them­selves and cowork­ers about the effects of union­iza­tion and orga­nize in oppo­si­tion to the union;

** Forc­ing com­pa­nies to hand over to union orga­niz­ers the name, address, phone num­ber, e‑mail address and shift sched­ule of each employ­ee, expos­ing work­ers to “home vis­its” and oth­er intim­i­da­tion tac­tics.

In fact, if union boss­es get wind of the pos­si­bil­i­ty that they could even lose an ambush elec­tion, the new rules would allow them to with­draw their peti­tion but save the per­son­al con­tact infor­ma­tion of each work­er for a full-scale card check cam­paign at a lat­er date. 

Fed­er­al labor law is sup­pos­ed­ly intend­ed to help work­ers pro­tect their rights. 

But the biased and ide­o­log­i­cal­ly-charged Oba­ma Labor Board has turned into an orga­niz­ing tool for Big Labor.

It’s bad enough that fed­er­al law gives union boss­es monop­oly bar­gain­ing and forced-dues pow­er over work­ers. 

Secret bal­lot elec­tions, with enough time for work­ers to col­lect and share truth­ful infor­ma­tion about union­iza­tion, at least pro­vide work­ers the abil­i­ty to make an informed, pri­vate choice for them­selves.

That’s why Foun­da­tion staff attor­ney William Mes­sen­ger recent­ly tes­ti­fied before Con­gress about the dan­gers of these quick-snap elec­tions.

Foun­da­tion staff attor­neys also believe that the rad­i­cal rule change remains vul­ner­a­ble to lit­i­ga­tion even if the NLRB fol­lows prop­er pro­ce­dure this time.

But first, I want to send a strong and clear mes­sage to the NLRB and shine a spot­light on its over­reach.

So please click here to sign your peti­tion oppos­ing the NLR­B’s ambush elec­tions scheme.

I’ll deliv­er your peti­tions to the NLRB, in addi­tion to the for­mal com­ments the Foun­da­tion will sub­mit.

I’m count­ing on you today to help me flood the NLRB with peti­tions oppos­ing their ambush elec­tion scheme.

And after you’ve signed your peti­tion, I hope you con­sid­er chip­ping in with a tax-deductible con­tri­bu­tion of $10 or more today.

Your sup­port allows the Foun­da­tion to devote the resources we need to expose these behind-the-scenes maneu­vers in the press and chal­lenge them in court.
