Obama Labor Board Kills Important Secret Ballot Precedent

Worker advocate denounces NLRB’s ruling to take away protection workers have against card check forced unionism

Washington, DC (August 30, 2011) – Today, Barack Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) overturned its Dana Corp. decision, in which National Right to Work Foundation attorneys secured for employees the right to challenge union card check organizing campaigns with a secret ballot vote.

Under the Foundation-won Dana decision, workers may collect signatures to request a secret ballot election during a 45-day window period following notice that their employer has recognized a union based on a card check organizing drive. The ruling is intended to counteract coercive practices frequently associated with card check, which allow organizers to bully or mislead employees into signing cards that count as "votes" toward unionization.

The NLRB overturned Dana just as President Obama-appointed NLRB Chairwoman Wilma Liebman's term expired. Meanwhile, Obama-appointed Board Member Craig Becker, who co-authored a union brief in the original Dana case, refused to recuse himself from the case. Becker, a recess nominee, faces bi-partisan opposition to his confirmation in the U.S. Senate. One Board Member, Bryan Hayes, vigorously dissented and called the ruling a blatant roll back of employee freedom.

Any decertification votes that have been cast but not counted by the NLRB will now be discounted, thereby invalidating the voice of thousands of workers nationwide.

National Right To Work request to Klobuchar & Franken for MN

The following text is what I sent to Senators Amy Klobuchar and Franken through their website contact system. I can only hope this will be one of many requests that helps influence change...

"A Right to Work law guarantees that no person can be compelled, as a condition of employment, to join or not to join, nor to pay dues to a labor union. Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act affirms the right of states to enact Right to Work laws. I request you help MN join the 22 states which have already passed Right to Work laws:

Alabama, Arizona,Arkansas, Kansas,Florida, Georgia,Idaho, Iowa,Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada,North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.

Please affirm the right of all Americans to be free of compulsory union enrollment and dues. I urge you to cosponsor and seek roll-call votes on the National Right to Work Act.

Thank you for your service."

Not

2012 a senator propose a bill for us to become a Right to work state. That bill never made it to the floor, because it's stupid. Non-Right to Work employees make on average $5,000 more annually than those states you stated.
Enjoy sinking your wages into the ground. Less wages means less of everything else. Health care, Schools, and so on and so on.
I guess you want your kids to have less means of learning. ZING
