Worker Advocate Challenges Obama Labor Board Overreach in Federal Court
National Right to Work Foundation attorneys fight Labor Board’s decision to promote monopoly unionism in virtually every workplace in America
Washington, DC (September 16, 2011) – Today, National Right to Work Foundation attorneys filed a federal lawsuit challenging the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) new rules governing the notification of employee rights in the workplace.
The new rules require every employer to post incomplete information about employee rights online and in the workplace, even if they've never committed a violation or been accused of unfair labor practices. However, these rules do not require union officials to issue information about workers' rights to refrain from union membership or opt out of union dues. Until the rule changes, which were implemented in late August, employers were required to post notices of workers' rights only if a violation of labor law occurred.
National Right to Work Foundation attorneys believe the NLRB has exceeded its authority granted by Congress and violated free speech guarantees of the First Amendment. Attorneys from the National Federation of Independent Business are challenging the new rule in the same complaint on behalf of two member businesses, Southeast Sealing, Inc. and Lehigh Valley Racquet and 24/7 Fitness Clubs.

Free Speech?
If you post your rights, your violating free speech. What a waste of everyones time.
If you wish someone to post about your rights to refrain from joining a union, then post it. Don't bitch and moan because your too lazy to do the research.

Unions and our current obamanation of a government continue to destroy our country. abolish the NLRB and impeach the token, ignorant, bought-and-paid-for-union-puppet in the white house.
