( The 2010 Elections are on Obama's mind ) Obama conveniently installed
former union lawyers to the NLRB
The (NLRB) National Labor Relations Board just destroyed thousands of ballots.
I wish this was unexpected, but with the out-of-control Obama Labor Board,
it's exactly as we've feared and predicted.
As you know, the NLRB is bulldozing its way through workers' rights and the
Board's own precedents to hand Big Labor as many new special privileges as
it can before the 2012 elections.
-- Plotting to eliminate thousands of Boeing jobs in Right to Work South
Carolina.
-- Proposing a scheme to ambush workers with union certification elections.
-- Forcing its way into every workplace in the country with biased notices
that serve as a roadmap to coerced unionization.
The Obama Labor Board is on a war path against worker freedom. And the hits
just keep on coming.
Last week, three former union lawyers on the National Labor Relations Board
voted to overturn the Board's pivotal 2007 ruling in Dana Corp.
The Foundation-won Dana case was one of the most important victories for
workers' rights at the Board in recent years, securing for employees the
right to challenge union card check organizing campaigns with a secret
ballot vote.
Workers often sign so-called "union authorization cards" due to union
organizers' intimidating tactics or even outright lies about what signing a
card means.
In fact, many workers across the country -- like the Dana Corp. workers from
Albion, Indiana have used Dana elections to kick out unwanted unions,
demonstrating the unreliability of card check instant organizing.
But now thousands of workers who cast secret ballots in similar elections
won't even have their votes counted. The NLRB is actually destroying the
votes!
Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism Bill stalled in Congress due to
widespread opposition from the American public to eliminating the secret
ballot -- and incumbents who supported card check faced the wrath of the
voters in the 2010 midterm elections.
So instead the union bosses turned to the NLRB where Barack Obama
conveniently installed former union lawyers.
Most notably, Obama installed former SEIU and AFL-CIO union lawyer Craig
Becker as a recess appointee to the Board. Becker infamously called the
secret ballot "profoundly undemocratic" and in his time on the Board has
repeatedly demonstrated his blatant pro-forced unionism bias and disregard
for ethics.
In fact, Becker refused to recuse himself from the decision to overturn Dana
even though he co-authored a brief for the AFL-CIO in the original case!
Overturning Dana on its own would be bad enough, but what makes it even more
troubling is how it goes hand-in-hand with the Board's other recent power
grabs.
Take the proposed ambush elections rules, for instance.
If the rules are implemented, union operatives will be able to ambush
workers with quick-snap elections just days after union organizers turn in
"union authorization cards" from a mere 30 percent of the workforce.
And to make it even easier for union operatives to steamroll their way into
workplaces, the Board would also force companies to hand over to union
organizers the name, address, phone number, email address, and shift
schedule of each employee, exposing workers to "home visits" and other
intimidation tactics.
But if union bosses get wind of the possibility that they could lose the
election by secret ballot, the new rules would allow them to withdraw their
petition but save the personal contact information of each worker for a
full-scale card check campaign at a later date.
By overturning Dana, the Obama Labor Board just eliminated the one
protection remaining for workers against abusive card check campaigns.
In fact, the NLRB is making card check an even more powerful weapon against
workers and job providers alike.
That's why the National Right to Work Foundation will continue fighting
back.
We've already blasted the decision to overturn Dana in the press, and
Foundation attorneys are working on new legal challenges to card check
forced unionism.
Card check isn't dead yet. And the Obama Labor Board's all-out assault on
individual workers isn't over either.

outreach programs possible.
