His latest stunt? A heavy-handed attempt to block a <a href=\"\/decertification-election\">decertification election<\/a> that would have thrown an unwanted union out of a New Jersey workplace.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRecently, Holt wrote <a href=\"\/files\/nrtw\/Holt%20Teamsters%20Letter.pdf\">a letter<\/a> (pdf) urging the NLRB to block a decertification election that would have removed Teamster bosses from the Durham School Bus offices in Middletown, New Jersey. Holt claims that the company&#8217;s unfair labor practices tainted the election, but even if his assertion were true, workers attempting to eject unwelcome union bosses shouldn&#8217;t be punished for management&#8217;s mistakes. Moreover, Big Labor operatives frequently resort to <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/let-us-have-our-vote-04212009\">frivolous legal<\/a> <a href=\"\/\">challenges<\/a> to prevent employees from getting rid of unions.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAlthough the election was held as scheduled and Teamster officials ultimately held on to their forced-dues privileges, Holt&#8217;s letter demonstrates Big Labor&#8217;s staggering political influence. Union bosses will stop at nothing to push more workers into their forced-dues paying ranks. Getting a sitting Congressman to intervene in what was supposed to be an even-handed union decertification election is just the latest example of their political pull. After all, they&#8217;ve done it <a href=\"\/press\/2008\/06\/bush-labor-board-authorizes-congress\">before<\/a>, and they&#8217;ll surely do it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nOn Capitol Hill, New Jersey Congressman Rush Holt is <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/2009\/04\/dirty-money-rep-rush-holt#ixzz1BhbOfK2j\">a prominent Big Labor enabler<\/a>: He&#8217;s cosponsored the notorious &quot;card check&quot; forced unionism bill, taken tens of thousands of dollars from union bosses who use their forced-dues powers to funnel money into politics, and generally opposed expanding workplace freedom at every turn.
