National Labor Relations Board Trying to Circumvent Congress!!!
UPDATE: Both Democratic Senators held their Senate seats.
I’m postponing the analysis of the Iowa Straw Vote for one more day to post a time sensitive e-mail I received yesterday which has a “public comment” involved for those interested. The e-mail:
From: Americans for Prosperity
“Obama’s union boss buddies poured hundreds of millions into getting him and his Democratic allies elected in 2008, but they were unable to pass their signature legislation stripping workers of private ballot rights. And in last year’s midterm election, they were wiped out.
But Obama’s union buddies at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) won’t take no for an answer.

The board is packed with radical union lawyers that Obama installed by the back door—so-called recess appointments to sidestep the Senate. Consider the words of Craig Becker, the former SEIU lawyer Obama put on the NLRB without Senate approval:
‘Employers should be stripped of any legally cognizable interest in their employees’ election of representatives.’
Now Becker and his allies are proposing to gut workers rights with a proposal to force ambush elections on employers in as little as 10 days, without giving employers an opportunity to educate workers on the implications of forming a union. (This identical ‘ambush elections’ proposal was the centerpiece of one of the last versions of the ‘card check’ bill that collapsed last Congress.) [In other words, the Obama Administration is once again attempting to achieve executively what they could not achieve through the legislative process. The next Republican President in 2013 is going to have to remove a ton of unconstitutional executive orders because of the illegal actions of the present President and his cronies!!!—my addition]
The result: workers can be forced into unions and forced to pay dues that will be funneled to support left-wing political causes.
Fortunately, the NLRB is required by law to respond to public comments, and the public comment period ends August 22.

National Labor Relations Board
1099 14th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20570
Re: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Representation Case Procedures, RIN 3142-AA08
This proposed rule is an affront to worker rights and a naked power play by union bosses who have undue influence on the recess-appointed Democratic majority on the Board.
The rule would needlessly increase tension in the workplace and undermine the ability of American companies to create jobs.
The current median of 38 days before an election is reasonable and gives both sides an opportunity to explain the facts and ensure workers understand the high stakes in a representation election. Shortening it to as little as 10 days would prevent employers from educating workers and result in workers being forced into unions.
In addition, the rule’s disclosure provisions would force confidential employee information, including phone numbers and email addresses, to be made available to union organizers. This is a dangerous invasion of privacy, and would open the door to harassment and intimidation of workers. These activities disrupt businesses, undermining economic growth.
Coming at a time when the NLRB’s acting general counsel is suing four states to overturn state constitutional protections for secret ballot voting and is accusing Boeing of an unfair labor practice for moving to a right to work state, it is clear that this rule is part and parcel of an effort to force workers into unions they do not want to join.
I urge you to withdraw the rule.”
