AFL-CIO head honcho John Sweeney and SEIU chief Andy Stern both chimed in about last week’s victory on behalf of employees by Right to Work attorneys. Sweeney cites a previous NLRB decision calling coercive card check unionization drives "a favored element of national policy."
What a joke. As previously cited, the Board in this decision cited:
“Card checks are less reliable because they lack secrecy and procedural safeguards… union card-solicitation campaigns have been accompanied by misinformation… workers sometimes sign union authorization cards…to get the person off their back.”
Stern, however, gets one thing right when he says:
"The NLRB has become a caricature of itself, and as a nation, we should be embarrassed by governing bodies that fail to consider even the most basic needs and rights of workers.”
How true. The NLRB has failed America’s workers in many other Foundation cases. Here are just a few.
