Right to Work Attorneys Demand Workers' Voices Be Heard on Obama NLRB Rule Change

Anthony Riedel — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:43:52 -0400

Last week, President Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) proposed new guidelines which will help give union organizers the upper hand over independent-minded employees, and make union organizing campaigns as one-sided as possible.

The new rules, which are designed to allow union organizers to browbeat workers into union ranks and keep independent workers from opposing unionization, make it easier for union organizers to launch stealth campaigns in which they have access to the personal information of workers and harass them (including by making "home visits") into signing "union authorization cards."

Meanwhile, the vast majority of workers and the employer may have no idea what is happening.

Will Collins — Fri, 13 May 2011 12:17:41 -0400

Regular readers are already up to speed on the Obama National Labor Relations Board's attempt to punish Boeing for opening a new production line in Right to Work South Carolina - and the National Right to Work Foundation's efforts to help Boeing employees. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore explain why the NLRB's actions are so pernicious:

The Obama administration's National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint last month against Boeing to block production of the company's 787 Dreamliner at a new assembly plant in South Carolina—a "right to-work" state with a law against compulsory union membership. If the NLRB has its way, Dreamliner assembly will return to Washington, a union-shop state, along with more than 1,000 jobs.

Foundation Files Formal Comments Opposing Obama Executive Order Implementing Pro-Big Labor Double Standard

Will Collins — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:02:08 -0400

It will come as no surprise to those following the Obama Administration's labor policy that another executive order threatens to advance union bosses' interests at the expense of employers and employees alike. Executive Order 13494 implements a blatant double-standard for federal contractors who are subjected to union organizing drives. The order prohibits contractors from using any federal money to inform employees about the facts of union organizing.

Although this might sound relatively unobjectionable, the new directive reveals itself as a payoff to Big Labor by allowing contractors to write off expenses related to union monopoly bargaining, including company subsidies for union shop stewards and union committees.
