WFI Launches Missouri Radio Actuality
This NLRB ruling was nothing more than a payback to union bosses to help stem their declining membership and makes a mockery of the secret ballot. Passage of this resolution would ensure that employers are able to fairly tell their side of the story especially since many of them can’t afford the proper counsel to deal with complex labor laws. More importantly, the resolution would ensure that the freedoms of workers and small businesses are protected. Missourians will be watching to see how Senator McCaskill votes on these ambush elections. Continue reading

WFI Requests NLRB Inpector General Investigate General Counsel & Board Communication
It was recently disclosed that former National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chairman Wilma Liebman engaged in communications with the General Counsel-side of the agency with regard to the unfair labor practice complaint filed by the Acting General Counsel against the Boeing Company. Redacted copies of the e-mail exchanges were recently disclosed in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Cause of Action. See Letter dated April 9, 2012 from Lafe Solomon, Acting General Counsel (by Amber Taylor, Senior Attorney) to Cause of Action. These e-mails reveal that the former Chairman was engaged with the Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon and others on the General Counsel’s side of the agency in devising a strategy to cause more favorable media coverage to the Boeing Complaint and the extraordinary Board order it was seeking, the merits of which the former Chairman could participate in deciding.

Ambush Election Vote: Senators Either Stand With Small Business Owners Or Big Labor Bosses
It is a breathtaking overreach that completely ignores the will of both employees and employers. The NLRB, which is stacked with members who have direct ties to Big Labor, decided last year to completely ignore the will of the majority who submitted 65,000 comments largely in opposition to undoing decades of Board law in favor of ambush elections. Continue reading

As Union Pensions Go Bankrupt, Union Bosses Spend Heavily On Political Activities
Choosing Big Labor over struggling American workers and small businesses means letting union bosses push our nation over the fiscal cliff. From violating workers’ private information to micro-unions and ambush elections, union bosses are invading the workplace – and taking the economy down with it. Continue reading

Wszolek: The Battle of Student Forced Unionization
Labor bosses swore their efforts were to ensure students had their rights defended – yet the GSRAs did not call for this action. To the contrary, many openly opposed it. They recognized this was about subjecting more individuals to forced payment of union dues. In Michigan, union employees are forced to pay dues whether they support the union or not. If they refuse, they can no longer work, for example, as a graduate student research assistant at U-M. Continue reading
