Washington, DC (March 3, 2015)<\/b> \u2013 Tomorrow morning, National Right to Work Foundation staff attorney Glenn Taubman will testify before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions on the dangers of the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) recently-enacted regulations that will further give union organizers the upper hand over independent-minded employees during unionization campaigns.<\/p>\n
The Subcommittee, which is chaired by Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), will focus on a series of election rule changes designed to dramatically shorten the time individual workers have to share information with their coworkers about the effects of unionization. The regulations also require employers to hand over workers’ private information to union organizers, including their phone numbers and email addresses.<\/p>\n
Taubman, a veteran Foundation staff attorney, will contend that dramatically shortening the period before unionization elections will hurt workers’ ability to cast an informed vote.<\/p>\n
\u00ab[Federal labor law] is not about unions or employers: it is about whether the employee has information from both sides to make a free and informed choice,\u00bb wrote Taubman in testimony submitted to the Subcommittee prior to the hearing.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe NLRB has once again resuscitated these draconian election rules designed to make unionization campaigns even more one-sided in an effort to boost union bosses’ forced dues ranks,\u00bb said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u00abThe Obama Labor Board’s latest give-away to Big Labor will ambush unsuspecting workers into union ranks and encroaches on the privacy rights of employees who may oppose unionization in their workplace.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
