The two members explained that they are following longstanding board policy not to make new law or set new rules without at least a three-member majority voting for the change.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oops, Mr. Schaumber.  Not so.  Just a few weeks ago, the two-member Board issued a controversial ruling which changed the law and further encouraged union-stooge congressmen to engage in deception and union coercion.  As a Foundation press release <a href=\"\/press\/2008\/06\/bush-labor-board-authorizes-congress\">explained<\/a> (emphasis mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\tThe National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a controversial and ground-breaking ruling that gives Congressmen and other public officials the green light to stage fake \u201ccertification\u201d ceremonies that give the misimpression of official government recognition of a union during \u201ccard check\u201d organizing drives.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe case dismissed objections to the conduct of Congressman Robert Andrews (D-NJ) and other government officials who participated in a televised sham union \u201ccertification\u201d ceremony and public announcement that workers had selected a union immediately prior to a NLRB certification election last summer at the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n<p>\t<b>The NLRB\u2019s ruling raised the burden of proof requirements for arguing that conduct tainted a certification election. Earlier Board law did not require challengers to present incontrovertible evidence that many employees were actually aware of the objectionable conduct \u2013 only that it was likely that many were.<\/b>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Either Schaumber was confused when deciding this Trump Plaza Hotel case, or he&#8217;s being disingenuous to the press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nWednesday&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bna.com\/products\/labor\/dlr.htm\">Daily Labor Report<\/a> (subscription required) featured a self-serving article likely placed by the National Labor Relations Board&#8217;s PR flacks in which the two remaining board members assert that the NLRB &quot;might actually be functioning more efficiently&quot; with three vacancies than with a full five-member panel.
