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

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.

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.
