The rule would significantly slash the length of time it takes for unions to go from gathering support among workers to holding a vote on unionizing. The NLRB&#8217;s Democrat members moved the rule up so that it could be implemented by the end of the year, which is also the end of Craig Becker&#8217;s recess appointment to the board. Becker is the former SEIU lawyer recess appointed to the board by President Obama in March 2010. The Senate had rejected Becker, 52-43, and many groups including the US Chamber of Commerce strongly opposed him for being too much a tool of the unions. Coupled with the board&#8217;s moves on card check, which would destroy the secret ballot, and its &#8220;micro union&#8221; decision allowing partial unionization even among workforces where a majority oppose unionization, it&#8217;s not hard to see the agenda at work here: Ambush employers and employees to reintroduce Big Labor into an American workforce that has chosen to reject unions for decades. Add in the NLRB&#8217;s suit against Boeing, and you have a board that is also working to crush right to work laws nationwide. Simply put, the NLRB under Becker has become a weapon of Big Labor oppression, with the full backing of the president.]]>Mon, 21 Nov 2011 11:46:33 -0500<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2011/11/21/nlrb-speeds-up-snap-election-rule-and-theyre-ready-if-the-republican-member-resigns-in-protest-n157010
