More on Yesterday's Decision 

Yesterday's National Labor Relations Board decision continues to grab headlines across the country.

It's interesting to note that while you have certain members of Congress pressing to mandate the coercive "card check" scheme, the NLRB here has signaled the inferiority of the process in measuring employee support for unionization. In essence, employees now have an out once a union is imposed on them via "card check."

In the underlying Metaldyne case, 50 percent of the employees petitioned to vote the union out immediately following the recognition of the union. How can union officials possibly claim with a straight face that a majority of employees supported unionization" In cruel irony, however, as mentioned previously, yesterday's decision will not protect the very employees that brought the underlying cases.
