Stop Obama’s Big Union Onslaught

Heritage  "Unions also didn’t learn any lessons after taxpayers bailed out General Motors and Chrysler, and then-White House “auto-czar” Ron Bloom gave the UAW preferential treatment in the restructuring process despite their contracts being largely at fault.
"And, this is a lesson that still has not penetrated the walls of the Obama White House. The President’s appointees to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) want businesses to be unionized at all costs, even if it means harming both workers and the economy. They’re trying to make it happen by ramming through measures that would help expand unionization in America."

Out of Control NLRB Strikes Again  "Now the NLRB, which is dominated by Obama appointees, is trying to alter the timetable for union organizing elections, in effect shortening the process and, say critics, making it harder for companies to mount a campaign to explain to its employees why it may be in their best interests to keep the union out."
The Regime Wins: Boeing, union in early deal, would end NLRB case  "A high-profile court battle over the issue has become the fulcrum of a larger conflict between supporters of labor union rights and those who believe U.S. companies should have the freedom to build factories where they want, for whatever reasons they choose.
"Boeing's decision to build the new 737 MAX at its Renton factory is a major victory for the union."
GOP seeks to head off NLRB rules that would speed up organizing process, allow multiple unions
"The Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act, introduced in October by Committee on Education and the Workforce Chairman John Kline, Minnesota Republican, will receive a floor vote Wednesday afternoon that could repeal the NLRB’s new rules before they even get approved."
UPDATE: House Passes Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act While Board Approves Resolution to Change Election Rule  "While the bill was readily approved in the House, it is unlikely to advance in the Democrat-controlled Senate."
