Good news from the National Right To Work Committee

From the Right To Work Committee:

I knew I could count on you to stand up to the Obama Labor Board.

Monday, April 7 was the last day to submit comments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regarding its proposed ambush elections scheme.

You sent a loud and clear message that concerned citizens like you who are paying attention to this behind-the-scenes "rule-making" oppose the union-boss power grab.

I submitted a petition against the proposed rules signed by approximately 60,000 Right to Work supporters.

Not only that, I estimate that at least a third -- if not half -- of all the thousands of additional comments submitted to the NLRB came from Right to Work supporters like you.

Your National Right to Work Foundation also submitted formal comments of its own, and Foundation staff attorney William Messenger argued against the rule change at the NLRB's public hearing on Friday.

Make no mistake, these changes to union certification election rules are a major part of Big Labor's "Plan B" to sneak through the bureaucratic backdoor what they haven't been able to push through Congress, like the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.

The NLRB's proposed rules make union organizing campaigns even more one-sided and stifle the rights of employees who may oppose unionization in their workplace.

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 new rules would 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.

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.

With your continued support, the National Right to Work Foundation will continue fighting back against ambush elections, card check, and whatever forced-unionism schemes the Obama Labor Boards cooks up next.

The Obama Labor Board's all-out assault on individual workers isn't over and may only intensify in the final years of the Obama presidency.

We must remain vigilant.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
