Philly Gets Rocky 

National Right to Work attorneys' recent victory for employee free choice at the NLRB was the topic of much debate at a meeting of the pro-forced unionism American Bar Association, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Union partisans typically condemned the newly established rights for employees. Once again, however, the meeting attendees did not get to hear from any representative from the National Right to Work Foundation, the group actually winning the main cases at issue and leading the charge to protect employees from "card check" organizing abuses.

Despite the hue and cry of union officials, the actions of the Bush NLRB to correct literally dozens of activist, pro-compulsory unionism rulings issued by the Clinton NLRB have been limited, delayed, and sparse. The Bush NLRB has a lot of work left to do and little time to do it.

Voluntary-recognition

Bismarck

The related story in the Philadelphia Inquirer states:

The cases involve labor's most successful membership-building technique: persuading management to recognize a union when most workers sign union cards. This "voluntary-recognition" method skips the cumbersome traditional NLRB secret-election process.

This "voluntary-recognition" is only voluntary on the part of the employer. The employees who were decieved and badgered into signing the cards are hardly volunteers.

As one who had the pleasure of being "represented" by an unwanted union for much of my working life, I find the verbal acrobatics used by the advocates of this disenfranchisement of the rank-and-file particulary offensive.
