Senate To Consider Overturning Ambush Election Rule
Ask your senators where they stand. Do they support the right of workers to participate in a fair unionization election? Do they support the right of business owners to have enough time to educate their workers? Or do they support union bosses in their attempt to change the rules that benefit them? Continue reading
Fact Checking The Labor Fact Checker On Ambush Elections
Recently, Senator John Thune published an op-ed on the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) ambush election rule and efforts in Congress to undo the regulation in advance of it taking effect on April 30th. This week, the U.S. Senate will vote on S.J. Res. 36, a joint resolution of disapproval, which under the Congressional Review Act has the weight of law once passed by a simple majority in both houses of Congress and signed by the president.

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

National Labor Relations Board Holds That President Obama’s Recess Appointments Are Entitled To A Presumption Of Regularity
The fact that a decision could not be crafted in a routine case that did not compel all five Board members to participate in it also suggests that the polarization so evident during the closing days of the first Obama Board has carried over into the this second Obama Board. Continue reading

WFI Spokesman: “Ambush Elections Hurt Employees & Employers”
The Obama board is made up of union advocates handpicked by the president and labor bosses, and these unelected bureaucrats appear to have little to no regard or concern for making sure employees have the opportunity to make informed decisions about a critical matter affecting their livelihoods.
