Don't let Obama gut right to work laws

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Just last week, West Virginia became the fourth state in four years to adopt Right to Work. The worker freedom movement is growing, and momentum is on our side.

But the lawyers on Barack Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are taking revenge with a scheme to gut all 26 state Right to Work laws.

From the outrageous persecution of Boeing for creating jobs in Right to Work South Carolina to ambushing workers with quick-snap unionization elections, the Obama Labor Board has rammed through one union-boss power grab after another.

I've been warning concerned citizens like you for two years that the worst may be yet to come, now that Barack Obama is no longer accountable to the American people.

Thanks to the surrender of a few short-sighted Republicans in the U.S. Senate in 2013, Barack Obama has a fully-stocked NLRB stacked with a gaggle of union lawyers to do Big Labor's bidding.

And now the Obama Labor Board is seizing that opportunity and preparing to overturn more than 60 years of precedent and ignore the plain language of federal and state law.

This means all the strides the Right to Work movement has made to free workers in 26 states could go up in flames!

Now has never been a more important time to go on the OFFENSE and take the fight directly to Big Labor and their cohorts on Capitol Hill.

It's vital your Committee has the resources to force a roll-call vote on the National Right to Work Act.

An up-or-down vote in Congress will let the American people know who stands with us -- and who stands with Obama and his stacked National Labor Relations Board on opposing the issue of worker freedom.

But the deadline is Thursday at midnight.

That's why I urgently need you to chip in $50 to our Cosponsor Push program right away.

Our cosponsor targets will be flooded with the voices of thousands of pro-worker freedom Americans like you, urging them to add their names to the National Right to Work Act.

The Cosponsor Push plan includes:

>>>An expanded email, direct mail, and telephone campaign urging constituents to contact their congressmen and U.S. Senators.

>>>Targeted Facebook, Youtube and Google ads in select target districts.

>>>Delivery of additional petitions collected from you and your fellow Right to Work supporters.

Your Committee is throwing everything we have to force a roll-call vote on the National Right to Work Act.

With everything at stake, you and I cannot hold back.

You know the Union Bosses and Obama's Labor Board won't.

That's why your Committee absolutely must raise $40,000 by February 18th to flood the halls of Congress with hundreds of thousands of petitions, emails and phone calls.

And I need your help to make it happen. Will you chip in $50?

If $50 is just too much, please consider chipping in with a gift of $25 or even $10.

You and I cannot afford to let this opportunity slip through our fingers.

With the Obama Labor Board working to undercut the 25 current Right to Work states and force nonmembers to give up a portion of their paycheck, now is the time to know which legislators stand with you and me -- and the nearly 80% of Americans who support worker freedom.

Just think of the price the union bosses and their allies will pay once the American people focus on the fact that:

***Millions of workers are forced to pay tribute to a union boss just to keep their jobs -- money they earn to feed their families, educate their children and support their churches and communities;

***Big Labor’s power is deadly to millions of small businesses. Union-label politicians and Obama-stacked bureaucracies strangle businesses with confiscatory taxes, straitjacket regulations and destructive laws, damaging our economy and driving good jobs overseas -- or out of existence;

***Billions of forced-dues dollars bankroll radical, tax-and-spend politicians like Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, resulting in out-of-control spending and skyrocketing debt; and

***Union toughs terrorize workers and communities with violent strikes -- where they get away with beatings, arson -- even murder.

This rampant abuse of power needs to be stopped.

And with the Obama Labor Board working to gut and destroy the laws in 26 current Right to Work states, there has never been a more important time than now to force a roll-call vote on the National Right to Work Act.

Having droves of Senators sign on as National Right to Work Act cosponsors will prove to forced-dues partisans in Congress and the Obama Labor Board that they won’t get away with trying to KILL Right to Work.

But it’s up to you and me to make sure the union bosses’ pals in Congress don’t wiggle off the hook.

So please act TODAY!

The deadline is Thursday at midnight. Please act at once.

For Worker Freedom,

Mark Mix
President

National Labor Relations Board bullies workers

From The National Right To Work Committee:

The radical Obama Labor Board is at it again -- trapping workers under unwanted union monopoly control.

Dissatisfied with United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 3066 union bosses, a group of battery plant workers in South Carolina recently circulated a petition to remove the unwanted union from their workplace.

After a majority of workers signed the petition, the employer agreed to withdraw recognition of the union.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel deemed the workers' petition invalid and demanded that the UAW be brought back into the plant.

But the independent-minded workers were determined to remove the unwanted union and took the only other step available to them.

They exercised their right to request a secret-ballot election.

UAW union lawyers again cried foul, and the NLRB General Counsel again complied with their demands to block the secret-ballot vote.

Rather than let workers vote privately and let their true desire be heard, the rogue agency is colluding with union bosses to trap employees in an unwanted union.

These workers simply sought to exercise their workplace rights, and instead have fallen victim to NLRB policies that trample the rights of employees in an effort to protect union bosses from accountability from the workers they claim to "represent."

The Obama NLRB has made it a standard operating procedure to make removing an unwanted union as difficult as possible.

You may remember that earlier this year, the Obama NLRB subjected workers in Alabama to FIVE decertification elections to remove an unwanted union from their workplace.

Your Foundation stood with them every step of the way and ensured that their true voices were heard, and we will continue to fight on behalf of these South Carolina workers.

Thank you for your continued support so we are able to keep up the fight against the out-of-control Obama Labor Board and provide free legal aid to workers victimized by compulsory unionism abuses.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. The Foundation relies completely on voluntary contributions from our supporters to provide free legal aid. Please chip in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more today to support the Foundation's programs.

Should the National Right To Work Committee fight on or give up?

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Let me get right to the point.

Over the past 12 months, the union bosses' seemingly endless power grabs -- perpetrated with the help of Obama's radical National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) -- have been "taxing" the National Right to Work Foundation's resources like never before.

And that means you and I face some difficult decisions.

First, the good news: I'm increasingly encouraged that America's waking up to just how dangerous Big Labor's $20 billion (BILLION!) empire is . . .

. . . How they extort the precious wages of hard-working men and women as a condition of employment and corrupt our politics, strangle businesses, penalize taxpayers and mock our Constitution.

In 2012, Indiana and Michigan rejected forced unionism and became the 23rd and 24th Right to Work states.

And just a few months ago, Wisconsin followed suit and became America's 25th Right to Work state!

But as you and I know, Big Labor does not easily relinquish its forced-dues power, so union boss lawyers are attacking these reforms in the courts.

The good news is, your National Right to Work Foundation is going toe-to-toe with union boss lawyers, defending these laws from Big Labor's legal assaults.

But make no mistake: The Obama Administration's sweetheart deals for Big Labor, and the $1.7 billion political spending blitz by the union bosses in 2012, have exposed just how powerful Big Labor remains.

Powerful union officials and their government allies are fuming mad at the hard-fought battles opponents of forced unionism have won in recent years, and they're using every trick in the book not only to take back lost ground, but also to expand their forced-dues power.

That's why I must hear from you immediately. Please sign your Confidential Supporter Directive right away.

Fighting the Obama Administration's power grabs for Big Labor is taxing the National Right to Work Foundation's resources like never before.

And even in the face of their recent setbacks, forced-unionism advocates aren't throwing in the towel.

On the contrary, with BILLIONS of forced-dues dollars at stake, the union bosses are redoubling efforts to reclaim lost ground and expand their forced-unionism privileges.

And they have a powerful ally in the Obama-stacked NLRB, which just declared war on all state Right to Work laws.

A Foundation client and I were invited to testify at a Congressional hearing on this issue earlier this month.

That's why your Right to Work Foundation's work is so critical.

The fact is, taking on the out-of-control NLRB is just one of the fronts we're fighting on.

With nearly 200 active cases right now, here's just a glimpse of what Foundation attorneys are working on:

*** Five federal lawsuits designed to build on the reasoning the U.S. Supreme Court gave in our Harris and Knox precedents with the goal of ending other government-granted Big Labor forced-unionism schemes, including union bosses' power to extract forced dues from public employees.

*** Scores of cases attacking Big Labor's use of forced dues to fund its political machine -- vitally important now as union operatives are already gearing up to install another puppet politician in the White House and take back the U.S. Senate.

*** Challenges to the aggressive compulsory unionism policies pushed by Obama appointees in the executive branch, including the Department of Labor and the NLRB.

*** Critical cases defending and enforcing state Right to Work protections, especially in the newest Right to Work states: Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Here's the rub. Your Foundation continues to operate on a tight budget in 2015, and it's crucial we allocate our resources to cover all our bases.

Soon, I'll sit down with the five-member Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees to decide whether changes must be made in the Foundation's program budget.

But before I do, I'd like to have your guidance and help.

Can you spare just a few minutes of your time and fill out your Supporter Directive?

You see, right now choices must be made among certain priorities in our program. And I'm asking your advice before I act.

The fact is, I'd rather scale back in a few fights (even though we believe we could win!) than get stretched too thin.

Here's an in-depth view of some of the most important fights the Foundation is waging right now:

>>> Pushing forward with cutting-edge cases that directly challenge the constitutionality of forced union dues for all public employees.

In our most recent Supreme Court victories, the Justices indicated that they may be open to repealing all forced dues in the government sector, and Foundation staff attorneys are working on filing a brief in one such challenge right now.

>>> Attacking forced-dues-for-politics schemes and illegal diversion of union money into partisan politics.

After all, you and I know we can't just trust union bosses to voluntarily comply with Foundation-won precedents that protect employees from forced-dues-for-politics schemes.

>>> Defending workers from Big Labor's aggressive Top Down Forced-Unionism strategy.

Utilizing new Obama NLRB rules, Big Labor is expanding its aggressive organizing tactics to push more workers into forced-unionism ranks, including quick-snap elections and "Card Check."

>>> Bolstering our outreach program. The impact of our legal victories is limited if workers aren't informed.

Our informational campaigns ensure workers harmed by Organized Labor's forced-dues schemes know they have an ally in the fight to resist union boss subjugation.

I'm sure you can see why now would be a terrible time to throttle back our efforts.

But I need input from our supporters detailing where you want the Foundation to focus our efforts.

So please fill out your Confidential Supporter Directive right away.

The fact is, in the coming months, Big Labor will unleash their multi-billion dollar, forced-dues-funded political warchest to maintain their iron-fisted control of the White House, recapture the U.S. Senate and take over state legislatures and governors' mansions nationwide.

But your Foundation is hitting back hard -- fighting forced-dues-for-politics schemes in state courts and agencies, in federal courts and at the NLRB.

With the union bosses using their political clout to launch still more power grabs, it's vital that you and I not let up now.

I hope you understand what a profound threat opponents of forced unionism face.

Time after time, you have loyally stood with the Right to Work Foundation as we have fought pivotal battles.

After all you and I have achieved, it would be a devastating blow to have to pull back -- especially now when our achievements hold the promise of attracting new supporters to our cause.

In fact, national leaders including Steve Forbes and U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) are helping in a nationwide campaign to build new support for Right to Work. But identifying and recruiting new supporters takes resources, too.

So, along with your completed Supporter Directive, I hope I can count on your most generous tax-deductible contribution right away.

You see, with the spate of Right to Work victories, union officials are pressing harder and in more sophisticated ways to expand their forced-dues empire.

That's why it's vital the Right to Work Foundation keep up the fight on all fronts.

And why your completed Supporter Directive is so important.

At this moment, Foundation attorneys are representing tens of thousands of employees in nearly 200 active legal aid cases.

Each case is unique, and vital precedents are at stake. It is difficult to consider abandoning any of them.

But fighting all the battles I've described will cost an estimated $4,960,000 through the end of the year.

And, if the Foundation is not in a strong position, there's no doubt Big Labor will be all the more eager to launch new attacks on America's workers or on the Foundation itself.

The fact is, for many years, the National Right to Work Foundation has stood in the breach. And you've stood with us.

Now, I'm writing to you and all of the Foundation's best supporters because, according to my calculations, if you and our other most generous supporters gave a tax-deductible gift of $10 to the Foundation today, it would be enough to fully fund the rest of our 2015 program.

I realize that $10 is a lot to ask, but too much is at stake and your Committee needs your help.

Unfortunately, I know a few people won't or can't give at all right now, and I understand that.

They will count on others to carry their load. Some folks may set this letter aside (despite the urgency) and forget to send a contribution.

That's why, if you can, please consider making a $10 contribution today to fund our vital programs.

It could be that's more than you've given as a single gift before, but I hope you will seriously consider this request.

More than anything, your investment is a testament to just how critical the Foundation's ongoing projects are.

If I can count on generous donors like you to give such a contribution now, I could put aside any thoughts of scaling back our programs and focus on challenging Big Labor's forced-dues assaults.

You see, with your investment, the Foundation can maintain and hopefully even increase its aggressive attack on Big Labor's compulsory unionism schemes.

If, for some reason, you just can't send $10 today, please give at least $5 or whatever you can afford right away.

Whether you send $10 or $5 -- or if a lesser amount is the most you can do -- please fill out your Confidential Supporter Directive giving me your advice, and please be as generous as you are able.

Please, help today. Your support will make a real difference.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Your National Right to Work Foundation stands in the breach, protecting the right of all Americans to be free from union boss tyranny.

Yet at this crucial moment, I fear the Foundation may not have the resources needed to fight all the threats you and I face.

So, your advice today is critical. Please submit your Confidential Supporter Directive at once, and please agree to your most generous tax-deductible contribution of $10 to fund our vital programs.

Direct the National Right To Work Committee to fight on

From The National Right To Work Committee:

I'll get right to the point.

Fighting the Obama Administration's power grabs for Big Labor is taxing the National Right to Work Foundation's resources like never before.

Powerful union officials and their government allies are fuming mad at the hard-fought battles opponents of forced unionism have won in recent years, and they're using every trick in the book not only to take back lost ground, but also to expand their forced-dues power.

That means you and I face some difficult decisions going forward.

First, the good news.

As a result of your ongoing support of our Right to Work programs, more and more Americans are waking up to just how dangerous Big Labor's $20 BILLION compulsory unionism empire is . . .

. . . How it corrupts our politics, strangles the economy, fleeces taxpayers, mocks our Constitution and empowers union bosses to strip precious wages from hardworking men and women.

In fact, this year, Wisconsin became the 25th Right to Work state and the third state in the last three years to end compulsory unionism for most workers.

Not only that, with your support, our Foundation won yet another precedent at the U.S. Supreme Court last June with the Harris case.

You may recall that Harris involved Illinois in-home care providers corralled into forced-dues-paying ranks by disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich and his successor, Pat Quinn.

Under their scheme, caregivers were reclassified as "state employees" solely for the purpose of monopoly bargaining.

You see, Big Labor wanted a cut of the subsidy these individuals receive to take care of the sick and disabled, oftentimes members of their families.

Foundation staff attorneys continue the work to enforce and expand that critical victory.

But, in the face of their recent setbacks, forced-unionism advocates aren't throwing in the towel.

On the contrary, with BILLIONS of forced-dues dollars at stake, the union bosses are redoubling efforts to reclaim lost ground and expand their forced-unionism privileges.

And they have a powerful ally in the Obama National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which just declared war on all state Right to Work laws.

In fact, the so-called "Fee for Grievance" scheme the NLRB is intent on approving is designed to gut all 25 state Right to Work laws, condemning tens of thousands of workers to forced-dues servitude .

A Foundation client and I were invited to testify at a Congressional hearing on this issue earlier this month.

That's why your Right to Work Foundation's work is so critical.

The fact is, taking on the out-of-control NLRB is just one of the fronts we're fighting.

House holds hearing on forced dues by labor unions

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. the U.S. House will hold its FIRST ever "hearing" on the forced-unionism issue.

And Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Committee will be testifying.

The fact that you and I have pushed Right to Work to the forefront of American politics is reason for excitement. It shows the momentum is on our side, and opponents of forced-unionism are winning the day.

But it's also frightening, as you and I are entering dangerous territory.

That's why it's vital you sign your Emergency Right to Work petition to your U.S. Congressman.

I'll give you the link to sign in just a moment, but first let me tell you more about the danger you and I are facing -- and why your immediate action is needed.

You see, the Obama National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) -- stacked with Big Labor lawyers -- is gearing up to launch an all-out assault on state Right to Work laws.

Unable to stem the growing tide of opposition to forced-unionism with the passage of three new Right to Work laws in the last three years, the Obama-stacked Labor Board is intent on reversing 60 years of federal court precedent -- gutting all 25 state Right to Work laws by bureaucratic fiat.

If they succeed?

The results could be devastating, as potentially millions of non-union employees in Right to Work states will be forced to pay fees to a union boss despite state Right to Work law protections.

That's what the U.S. House will be discussing tomorrow -- Obama's NLRB attempt to gut Right to Work laws nationwide.

The truth is, Congress could solve the issue of forced-unionism through passage of the one-page National Right to Work Act.

That's why it's vital you act TODAY to turn up the heat on Congress by signing the Emergency Right to Work Petition to your U.S. Congressman.

The fact is, every time opponents of forced-unionism deal Big Labor and their handpicked, big government politicians a bruising defeat -- like Wisconsin becoming a Right to Work state -- you and I move one step closer to destroying their forced-dues-funded machine forever.

And losing the BILLIONS in forced-dues funneled into their election and re-election is what Barack Obama, Harry Reid and the rest of Big Labor's allies on Capitol Hill fear most.

So the union bosses and their pet politicians are relying on the Obama-stacked Labor Board to use its rule-making power to corral workers in Right to Work states back into the dues-paying fold.

Under NLRB precedents and federal court rulings, union bosses are prohibited from collecting dues or fees from workers in Right to Work states as a condition of employment.

And since 25 states have passed Right to Work laws, and passage of more state Right to Work laws is on the horizon, Big Labor, with the help of their allies on the NLRB, has cooked up a new scheme to recapture workers -- and the billions in forced-dues dollars they represent -- freed by state Right to Work laws.

On April 15, the compulsory unionism advocates on the NLRB took steps towards allowing union officials to force non-member workers in Right to Work states to pay fees for union contract grievance processing.

What makes this scheme so egregious is that workers ensnared in monopoly bargaining agreements are practically prohibited from dealing directly with their employers or hiring their own representation when they have an issue to be resolved.

The rules virtually force them to use the union-controlled grievance apparatus.

Now the NLRB plans to require workers to pay for this so-called service -- which workers are compelled to use .

And this so-called “grievance fee” can equal or exceed the amount of union dues.

Through this scheme, workers who have broken free from the shackles of compulsory unionism could be cast back into Big Labor's iron grip.

That's why it's crucial you sign the petition to your Congressman urging them to solve the issue of forced-unionism through passage of a National Right to Work Act.

But as the saying goes: Nothing moves unless it's pushed.

So please help your Committee get the wheels turning on the National Right to Work Act by signing your petition to your U.S. Congressman.

After you sign your petitions, please include your most generous contribution of $30, $20, $10 or whatever you can afford today to help the Committee rally Right to Work supporters nationwide.

Your generous contribution will help the Committee rally opponents of compulsory unionism across the country to end forced-unionism nationwide by passing the National Right to Work Act.

That's why your generous contribution of $30, $20 or $10 is so crucial.

Big Labor puppets on the NLRB have only one goal in mind: Destroy Right to Work.

And they think they've found a way.

I'm counting on you to help me stop them.

So please, sign your petition and chip in a contribution right away.

Thanks in advance for all you do.

For Worker Freedom,

Mark Mix

President

P.S. The Obama National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) -- stacked with Big Labor lawyers -- is gearing up to launch an all-out assault on state Right to Work laws.

Labor Unions want to gut Right To Work laws

From The National Right To Work Committee:

The Obama Labor Board just declared a full-scale assault upon all 25 state Right to Work laws.

As you know, in March, Wisconsin became the third state in three years to adopt Right to Work. The worker freedom movement is growing, and momentum is on our side.

Now the former union lawyers on Barack Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are taking revenge and moving forward with a scheme to gut all 25 state Right to Work laws.

From the outrageous persecution of Boeing for creating jobs in Right to Work South Carolina to ambushing workers with quick-snap unionization elections, the Obama Labor Board has rammed through one union-boss power grab after another.

I've been warning concerned citizens like you for two years that the worst may be yet to come, now that Barack Obama is no longer accountable to the American people.

Thanks to the surrender of a few weak-kneed Republicans in the U.S. Senate in 2013, Barack Obama has a fully-stocked NLRB stacked with a gaggle of union lawyers to do Big Labor's bidding.

And now the Obama Labor Board is seizing that opportunity and preparing to overturn over 60 years of precedent and ignore the plain language of federal and state law.

National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys identified this threat over a year ago.

United Steelworkers (USW) union bosses in Florida have asked the NLRB for permission to charge fees to workers who exercise their right under Florida law to cut off financial support to a union they don't support.

Foundation staff attorneys filed a brief in the case last June, arguing that this scheme would effectively eviscerate by administrative fiat Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, which authorizes state Right to Work laws.

Under the union lawyers' twisted logic, unions in Right to Work states should be able to require independent-minded workers to pay "contract grievance fees."

But by seeking and gaining monopoly bargaining power, union bosses have taken away the individual worker's freedom to represent himself or herself in dealing with the employer.

Not only that, the union controls the entire "contract grievance" process, and individual workers cannot seek any remedies without the union's permission and involvement.

The worker never agreed to the process or the rules -- the union imposed all of it.

Adding insult to injury, union bosses forbid nonmembers from voting on the contact, meaning workers have zero opportunity whatsoever to change the rules or process.

Everything about this system is coercive, and coercion is precisely why Right to Work laws are necessary to protect workers.

Earlier Boards and federal courts have correctly interpreted the law in case after case since 1953, holding that Right to Work laws mean exactly what they say.

Independent-minded workers in Right to Work states don't have to pay a single penny to an organization they did not ask for and do not want.

The Obama NLRB has already signaled its intent to overturn all those precedents and ignore the law's plain language.

"When this board is asking for an amicus brief on the reconsideration of a rule, the majority's already decided that it wants to change the rule," one labor law expert commented.

Foundation staff attorneys are already working on a new brief to dismantle the union lawyers' contrived arguments for this scheme.

But the real battle is likely to be in federal court.

In fact, Foundation staff attorneys are providing free legal aid to an independent-minded worker in Texas in a similar case.

We could be in for another years-long legal battle against this outrageous power grab.

Your Foundation needs an influx of financial resources to help combat this scheme and any others the Obama NLRB cooks up while it still can.

I hope I can count on your continuing support today to help us fight back against the Obama Labor Board's direct assault upon all 25 state Right to Work laws.

Make no mistake, they're trying to undo everything the worker freedom movement has accomplished in recent years.

We can't back down. Please act at once.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

Say no to forced Unionism say yes to S.J. Res. 8

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Your action is urgently needed.

As you know, over the last several decades, much of Congress' constitutional authority has been subsumed by an ever-growing executive branch.

And that trend has gotten much worse under the Obama regime.

Fortunately, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) allows Congress to overturn outrageous regulations like the bureaucratic power grabs rammed through the Obama Labor Board.

S.J. Res. 8 is a Joint Resolution of Disapproval that would prevent implementation of the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) "ambush" election rules.

Every member of Congress must now take a stand: Either to support free and fair elections or to stack the deck in favor of Big Labor.

And the House is expected to vote this week -- so time is running out!

That's why it's critical you sign your petition urging your Representative to support S.J. Res. 8.

S.J. Res. 8 would stop these new "ambush" election rules that represent nothing more than a backdoor attempt by the NLRB to undermine Congressional authority by granting Big Labor the power they sought from the Card Check Forced- Unionism Bill.

However, in proposing the "ambush" election rules, President Obama and his NLRB have again demonstrated their lack of regard for not only Congressional authority and the will of the American people but also for the rights of the American worker.

You see, this proposal would heavily deprive employees' ability to make a fully-informed decision by reducing time in which the process occurs from the current average of 38 days to as little as 11 days.

And to make matters worse, this "ambush" election rule will force businesses to surrender employees' personal information -- names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and work shifts -- to union bosses.

This gross encroachment on workers' privacy will likely result in additional harassment and intimidation at the hands of Big Labor.

With all that's at stake, I hope you'll IMMEDIATELY sign your petition, urging your Representative to support S.J. Res. 8.

The final vote is expected this Thursday, so there's not a moment to lose.

And after you've signed your petition, please consider a generous contribution of $5 or more today to help your Committee mobilize even more Americans in support of S.J. Res. 8.

Please, act right away.

For Worker Freedom,

Mark Mix

P.S. S.J. Res. 8 is a Joint Resolution of Disapproval that would prevent implementation of the NLRB's "ambush" election rules.

The House is expected to vote this Thursday -- so time is running out!

That’s why it’s vital you sign the petition, urging your Representative to support S.J. Res. 8.

Harry Reid and Obama want to stack the deck against the American worker

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Barack Obama's latest payback to Big Labor is moving quickly -- and I need your help right away.

The U.S. Senate Labor Committee just announced it will hold a kangaroo court "hearing" on Tuesday on Obama's nomination of Sharon Block to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

You may remember Sharon Block.

Block, a former staffer for longtime forced-unionism proponent Ted Kennedy, was one of Barack Obama's bogus "recess" appointees to the NLRB.

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held over the summer those appointments were unconstitutional.

Now the same Big Labor partisan who defied the rule of law could find herself back on the very federal agency at which she illegally participated in hundreds of decisions!

The rogue Obama NLRB has dedicated itself to rewriting American labor law every chance it gets, including;

***Forcing workers in non-Right to Work States to pay for union lobbying and political activities, via the Jeannette Geary case, where the NLRB blatantly IGNORED the Supreme Court's 1988 Beck decision;
***"Micro-organizing," which allows union militants to target and organize small units of workers if they know most employees at a workplace don't want to join a union;
***Ambush elections, which subject workers to quick-snap organizing where only Big Labor's side of the story is ever told and expose workers to many of the abuses of Card Check instant organizing;
***Forcing companies to continue automatic dues collection for Big Labor fat cats even after union contracts expire, flagrantly violating 60 years of precedent.

If the Senate confirms Block to a five-year term, undoing the damage the Obama Labor Board has already done -- and whatever union-boss power grabs they ram through in the final two years of Obama's terms -- will be even more difficult.

And I'm afraid Barack Obama and union-label Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just might get away with it, too.

It's time to start turning up the heat on the U.S. Senate at once.

I'm particularly concerned because some weak-kneed Senate Republicans caved in to Obama and Reid last year and agreed to give Richard Griffin, another sham "recess" appointee, a different job at the NLRB.

Not only that, Harry Reid made your job as grassroots citizens even more difficult.

You see, last year, Reid pulled the so-called "nuclear option" and broke the rules to gut the filibuster.

That allows Reid to ram Barack Obama's radical nominations through the U.S. Senate with the slimmest majorities.

Reid could even delay a floor vote until a "lame duck" session after losing his pro-forced-unionism majority in November, hoping concerned citizens like you aren't paying attention.

But you and I have stopped him before from underhanded tactics like that, such as when we stopped Reid from ramming through the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill in the "lame duck" session in 2010.

That's why it's vital we start turning up the pressure right away.

Sign your petition to your U.S. Senators opposing Sharon Block's nomination to the NLRB by clicking here.

The NLRB has been ground zero for Barack Obama's paybacks to Big Labor.

Obama's end-around of the Constitution was the most egregious example yet.

The Supreme Court unanimously struck that down, but what kind of message does the Senate send if it lets him get away with it?

That's why I'm counting on your action at once.

Please sign your petition opposing Sharon Block right away.

And after you do, I hope you'll chip in with a contribution of $10 or more to help your National Right to Work Committee turn up the heat.

With a Senate Labor Committee hearing on the nomination just days away, please sign your petition right away.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. The Senate Labor Committee has scheduled a kangaroo court "hearing" on Barack Obama's nomination of Sharon Block to the National Labor Relations Board.

Stop Obama and the unions from stacking the Labor Board

From The National Right to Work Committee:

President Barack Obama and his Big Labor puppet masters are at it again.

As you may know, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held this summer that Obama's bogus "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) were unconstitutional.

Now with a seat about to open back up on the NLRB, Obama has renominated Sharon Block -- one of the forced-unionism partisans who sat on the Board and illegally participated in hundreds of decisions!

It's time to start turning up the heat on the U.S. Senate at once.

That's because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made your job as grassroots citizens even more difficult.

You see, last year, Reid pulled the so-called "nuclear option" and broke the rules to gut the filibuster.

That allows Reid to ram Barack Obama's radical nominations through the U.S. Senate with the slimmest majorities.

Not only that, Reid could delay a vote until a "lame duck" session after losing his pro-forced-unionism majority in November, hoping concerned citizens like you aren't paying attention.

But you and I have stopped him before from underhanded tactics like that, such as when we killed the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill in the "lame duck" session in 2010.

So please, help me start turning up the pressure at once.

Sign your petition to your U.S. Senators opposing Sharon Block's nomination to the NLRB by clicking here.

Congress is on vacation until Labor Day, and I want to be able to start flooding Senate offices with your petitions as soon as they get back.

The NLRB has been ground zero for Barack Obama's paybacks to Big Labor.

Obama's end-around of the Constitution was the most egregious example yet.

The Supreme Court unanimously struck that down, but what kind of message does the Senate send if it lets him get away with it?

Oppose the National Labor Relations Board ambush election scheme

From the National Right to Work Committee:

The deadline to register your opposition to the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) radical ambush election scheme is just days away!

Over the last week, I've collected over 60,000 petitions from Right to Work supporters like you opposing the Obama Labor Board's proposed election guidelines, which are designed to grease the skids to force workers under union-boss control.

Now it's time to turn up the heat even more.

In a moment, I'll show you how you too can register your opposition with the NLRB -- and provide you with sample comments -- but first let me remind you what's at stake if the Obama NLRB gets its way.

You see, the NLRB's proposed new election guidelines are designed to make union certification elections as one-sided as possible by:

** Encouraging union operatives to conduct stealth organizing campaigns for months or even years until they collect "union authorization cards" from just 30 percent of the workforce;
** Ambushing the rest of the workforce with quick-snap elections just days after union organizers turn the cards in to the NLRB;
** Denying workers sufficient time to counter union-boss propaganda, educate themselves and coworkers about the effects of unionization and organize in opposition to the union;
** Forcing companies to hand over to union organizers the name, address, phone number, e-mail address and shift schedule of each employee, exposing workers to "home visits" and other intimidation tactics.
In fact, if union bosses get wind of the possibility that they could even lose an ambush election, 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.

I guarantee that Big Labor's high command, always desperate for new streams of forced-dues revenue to spend on politicking and union-boss perks, and their allies will file comments with the Board in favor of the new guidelines.

It's vital you and I stand up and speak for the individual worker.

That's why, in addition to the Foundation's comments and the petitions I've already collected, I'm asking you to register your opposition to the rule change with the NLRB.

Please, file your comments with the Board today.

You can write your own comments explaining why you oppose the ambush election scheme, or please feel free to copy the text below:

As a concerned citizen, I ardently oppose the National Labor Relations Board's proposed new union certification election procedures.

If enacted, these rules would expose workers to even more aggressive union organizing drives and invasions of privacy. Quick-snap elections deny independent-minded workers sufficient time to counter years of union-boss propaganda and make an informed, private choice for themselves. Even if union operatives think they can't win an ambush election stacked in their favor, the new rules let them keep the phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, and shift schedules of every worker and launch a intimidation-filled "card check" campaign in the future.

I urge the NLRB to drop the proposed rule change under Docket ID No. 2011-0002-65959.

The bureaucrats at the Obama Labor Board are out of control. Demand they stop acting as an organizing tool for Big Labor.

The deadline is Monday, April 7, so I hope you'll act right away.

And after you file your comments, please consider chipping in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more to help the Foundation fight back against forced-unionism power grabs like the Obama Labor Board's ambush election scheme.

But most importantly, please register your opposition to the NLRB's proposed scheme today.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. The biased Obama Labor Board is once again scheming to implement new union certification election rules that would open up workers across the country to harassment and intimidation by aggressive union organizers.

Oppose the nomination of Cornelia Pillard to the DC Court Of Appeals

This afternoon, union-label Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is set to call a cloture vote in the U.S. Senate on the nomination of Cornelia Pillard to a seat on the D.C. Court of Appeals.

We can't let Barack Obama do to the courts what he's done with the federal bureaucracy.

You see, not only is the D.C. Circuit the nation's second most powerful court, it's the same court that rebuked Obama for his unconstitutional "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.

So please call your U.S. Senators at once and urge them to vote against Barack Obama's court-packing scheme on all votes, including cloture on the Cornelia Pillard nomination.

The truth is, it's unacceptable for Barack Obama to seek revenge against a federal court for refusing to rubber-stamp his unconstitutional power grab.

Fortunately, judicial nominations are still subject to the Senate's consent -- for now.

But I'm afraid Reid may reignite his threats to invoke the so-called "nuclear option" -- his scheme to gut the filibuster and ram through radical nominees without a 60-vote threshold.

The last time Reid made this threat, a handful of Senate Republicans led by John McCain of Arizona and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee negotiated a disastrous "deal" that gave Obama a fully-stocked NLRB to do Big Labor's bidding.

If Reid guts the filibuster for nominations, it's only a matter of time before he guts the filibuster for legislation too.

Over and over again since our founding, the National Right to Work Committee and our members have used the Senate filibuster to keep Big Labor from stealing even more destructive monopoly power.

So please call your Senators at once and tell them no more deals.

The vote is scheduled for later today, so please act at once.

Call your U.S. Senators right away, and urge them to vote against Barack Obama's court-packing scheme.

And after calling your Senators, please consider chipping in with a contribution of $10 or more to help your National Right to Work Committee keep up the fight against Big Labor.

But most importantly, please call your Senators at once.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Barack Obama wants revenge against the nation's second most powerful court for ruling his "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were unconstitutional.

A vote on Barack Obama's court-packing scheme is set for later today, so it's critical you call your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and urge them to vote against cloture on the nomination of Cornelia Pillard to the D.C. Circuit Court.

Tell Senate not to vote in favor of corrupt union representative

Tomorrow, union-label Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a cloture vote on the nomination of corrupt union lawyer Richard Griffin to be the chief lawyer at the National Labor Relations Board.

With the vote just one day away, it's critical that concerned citizens like you turn up the heat on your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.

My staff is faxing in tens of thousands of petitions opposing the confirmation of the radical union lawyer -- and more petitions keep coming in.

But I'm afraid that won't be enough.

So please click here right away to e-mail your U.S. Senators and urge them to vote AGAINST the confirmation of Richard Griffin.

Let me remind you what's at stake.

As you may recall, over the summer a handful of Republican Senators joined every Democrat to let Barack Obama pack the labor board with union militants literally and publicly chosen by AFL-CIO czar Richard Trumka.

The ONLY thing those Republicans got out of the "deal" was that Obama would not re-nominate Richard Griffin and Sharon Block to be members of the Board.

So what did Obama do?

He nominated Griffin for a different job at the Board -- the General Counsel -- the office in charge of prosecuting unfair labor practices by both unions and management.

It is hard to imagine a worse nominee.

Griffin is currently being investigated for attempting to cover up embezzlement at the International Union of Operating Engineers by firing employees who tried to expose the crime.

It's outrageous that someone under investigation for such a crime would even be considered for a position with all of the power associated with the General Counsel position.

Will the Republicans play dead again?

It's vital you e-mail your U.S. Senators, urging them to vote against cloture on Richard Griffin for General Counsel on the NLRB.

As I said, Harry Reid has already scheduled the cloture vote for tomorrow.

Grassroots pressure from concerned Americans like you, demanding a filibuster against Big Labor power grabs, stopped Harry Reid from shoving Card Check down our throats.

Once again, America needs strong and principled citizens like you to fight back and urge Senate Republicans not to cut another bad deal with Harry Reid.

As you probably know, the position of General Counsel comes with great power. When this power ends up in the hands of a Big Labor partisan, the results can be tyrannical.

And we don't have to look far for an example.

This type of tyranny has been painfully clear under the NLRB's current acting General Counsel, Lafe Solomon.

When Boeing decided to open a plant manufacturing its newest airplane in Right-to-Work South Carolina, it was Solomon that launched a lawsuit against the company for the sole reason the new plant was in a Right to Work state!

The NLRB's job is to be an impartial arbiter between unions and management. But Lafe Solomon, as a General Counsel with an axe to grind, abused that power to coerce Boeing -- and other companies through intimidation -- to open their factories in forced-unionism states!

Having Solomon as General Counsel has turned the NLRB into something it was never intended to be -- an activist agency for Big Labor.

Even the most basic background check is enough to show anyone that Richard Griffin would be even more biased.

Ten members of the local 501 IUOE in Los Angeles have claimed in a corruption lawsuit that Griffin was a constant participant in a conspiracy to manipulate Local 501 through a pattern of racketeering. The lawsuit specifically states that Griffin made threats in an attempt to cover up the embezzlement.

If Griffin is willing to illegally silence employees to protect Big Labor's unlawful practices, as he's accused of doing, how much worse will he be as the officer in charge of prosecuting unfair labor practices?

It's like making a known drug kingpin the head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

The NLRB is supposed to be a quasi-judicial, independent agency, staffed with people who can interpret the law and deal with cases honestly and fairly.

Richard Griffin doesn't even come close to meeting that standard. Freedom, justice and basic common sense all dictate that your Senators oppose this nomination.

For all of these reasons it is vital you e-mail your U.S. Senators to vote against cloture on the nomination of Richard Griffin.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. As the first order of business when the U.S. Senate convenes tomorrow, Harry Reid has scheduled the cloture vote on the nomination of corrupt union lawyer Richard Griffin as General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.

Time is running out to make a difference, so please e-mail your U.S. Senators urging them to vote against cloture on Richard Griffin.

Reid wants to destroy the vetting process to grease the skids for Obama candidates for the NLRB

From The National Right To Work Committee:

The next Republican surrender to Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and Big Labor could be just days away.

Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats are planning to ramrod one of the AFL-CIO's top lawyers, along with another union-label nominee, through the Senate and into a seat on the powerful National Labor Relations Board.

Union bosses will have the functioning rubber-stamp Board they've craved for years.

And a handful of Republicans say they are going to help.

There is no reason in the world to fast-track the nominations of Nancy Schiffer and Kent Hirozawa to the Obama Labor Board, but that is exactly what these Senate Republicans have agreed to help Harry Reid do.

They've already railroaded these blatantly pro-forced-unionism nominees through the committee process.

Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined the Democrats on the Senate Labor Committee to rubber-stamp the nominations, and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) betrayed independent workers by pledging to vote for the nominees on the only vote that matters -- the vote to cut off debate.

Harry Reid is planning to schedule that vote any day now.

That's why it's vital your U.S. Senators hear from you right away.

The rushed vetting process has failed to give the American people enough time to evaluate the nominees.

And what little that's on the record about the nominees is more than troubling.

As the top lawyer for the AFL-CIO, Nancy Schiffer testified before Congress in favor of the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.

Not only that, she called secret-ballot unionization elections "inherently coercive."

Yet now she's being railroaded onto the very federal agency that oversees those elections.

The Obama Labor Board has long made it a priority to rewrite the election rules to grease the skids for unionization.

And once Barack Obama gets his pro-forced-unionism majority on the Board, it is likely to reinstate its delayed ambush elections policy that exposes workers to many of the abuses of Card Check instant organizing.

Obama's other nominee, Kent Hirozawa, was a top aide to Obama Labor Board Chairman Mark Pearce, who has been at the helm of the rogue agency as it has run roughshod over worker freedom. At last week's quick-snap hearing, Hirozawa refused to answer questions about his role as Pearce's counsel.

Reid and Obama's excuse to ram these nominations through the Senate is that the Board will lose its quorum next month and won't be able to issue decisions.

But they could achieve that by confirming Mark Pearce, Harry Johnson and Philip Miscimarra, the three nominees who have had time to be properly vetted.

Now that the nominations are out of committee, Harry Reid could bring them to the floor at any time.

So please, sign your petition today to your U.S. Senators expressing your disapproval of this sham, quick-snap process.

We face an uphill battle.

Big Labor is fighting hard for this rush job, and we can't match their forced-dues-backed warchest.

But it's vital your Senators know where you stand.

Please click here to sign your petition urging your U.S. Senators to oppose the confirmation of forced-unionism partisans Nancy Schiffer and Kent Hirozawa on all votes.

And so we can alert even more Americans to this outrageous rush-job, I hope you'll consider chipping in with a contribution of $10 or more.

Please do all you can.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

Oppose Obama's unconstitutional appointments

From National Right To Work Committee:

I fear that President Obama and his union boss cronies are setting our country on a path of no return.

From day one of his Presidency, Obama's National Labor Relations Board has been aggressively rewriting American labor law to give Big Labor more power, more dues and more political clout.

I've fought them every step of the way.

Today, I believe a U.S. Supreme Court case over Obama's unconstitutional "recess" appointments -- made while Congress was not in recess -- waits in the wings.

But this fight now moves to the U.S. Senate.

And I believe, without your IMMEDIATE action today, President Obama will get the last laugh.

Should he get his way, every outrageous decision the union-label NLRB has issued in the last 16 months will effectively be rubber-stamped!

You see, just recently, President Obama put the finishing touches on a new "package deal" of NLRB nominees for the U.S. Senate to confirm.

That package deal was just approved in Senate Committee on a party line vote.

First up, President Obama wants his three-member NLRB Majority confirmed by the Senate, including:

*** Richard Griffin who is a named defendant in an ongoing Los Angeles union local racketeering case;

*** Mark Pearce who used his position as NLRB Chairman to brazenly defy federal court rulings and kept the NLRB operating "business as usual;"

*** Sharon Block, who was happy to just play along, defying both our Constitution and federal courts -- and like the others, has a long record of pro-forced-unionism bias.

To sweeten the deal, President Obama has also nominated two "Republican" members.

But no matter how pro-Right to Work these two members are, on a five-member Board, they would be powerless to stop anything Obama's RADICALS dream up.

Of course, Presidents retain authority to select the majority of the NLRB appointees. But this is different.

First, President Obama packed the NLRB with unconstitutional recess appointees made while Congress was still in session.

Then, as I already mentioned, when the D.C Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on January 25 that President Obama's recess appointees were UNCONSTITUTIONAL, the NLRB didn't bat an eye.

The shamelessness these Obama NLRB nominees have shown DISQUALIFIES them for office.

The truth is, Obama's NLRB is a politicized, rogue agency and simply MUST be shut down until you and I can realistically hope the Board will operate in a legitimate fashion.

But of course, the union bosses just want all that swept under the rug.

Teamster Czar Jimmy Hoffa stated, "These bipartisan nominees clearly indicate President Obama wants to rise above petty political games."

The Communication Workers of America union bosses issued a statement saying, "It's important the Senate moves quickly."

If they do?

The Senate would be effectively jeopardizing their Constitutional "advice and consent" power for future Presidents to abuse, and the next time, it might not only be NLRB nominees but critical federal court nominees, as well.

But that's not even close to the worst of it!

Should the Senate confirm this "package deal," the union-label NLRB could then simply rubber-stamp every one of the 1,600 outrageous decisions made while the Board was operating unconstitutionally!

Then, any decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court in the upcoming court fight could be rendered virtually meaningless!

Every one of the decisions made by Obama's illegitimate NLRB would be confirmed, including;

>>> The Jeannette Geary case, where the NLRB blatantly IGNORED the Supreme Court's 1988 Beck decision, which states that union bosses cannot force workers in non-Right to Work states to pay for union lobbying or political activities;

>>> "Micro-organizing," which allows union militants to target and organize small units of workers if they know most employees at a workplace don't want to join a union;

>>> Ambush elections, which subject workers to quick-snap organizing where only Big Labor's side of the story is ever told, and exposes workers to many of the abuses of Card Check instant organizing;

>>> Expanded dues check offs, where the NLRB violated 60 years of precedent to force companies to continue automatic collection of forced dues for Big Labor fat cats even after union contracts expire.

The stakes couldn't be higher.

The truth is, President Obama's "package deal" is flat-out UNACCEPTABLE.

And it's absolutely critical you sign your "NO DEAL" petition to Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.

As you'll see, these petitions urge Senator McConnell and your Senators to filibuster and DEMAND a 60-vote threshold for Chairman Mark Pearce, Richard Griffin and Sharon Block.

But unless you and I turn up the pressure on Congress, I'm afraid they do not have the stomach for this fight.

Tantalized by the opportunity to look "bipartisan" for the national media -- while President Obama is waist-deep in scandals -- I'm afraid much of the Senate could quickly cave.

What about those unconstitutional recess appointments? What about these NLRB nominees' brazenness in the face of court rulings?

"We'll leave that to the Supreme Court to work out."

I'm sure I don't have to explain what a disaster this would be.

That's why I'm prepared to launch an immediate all-out nationwide mobilization program.

With your support, my goal is to generate up to one million "No Deals" petitions via mail, email and phones designed to put the Senate on notice just in the next few weeks.

But I can't do it without your help.

So won't you please sign your "No Deals" petition IMMEDIATELY?

Right now -- even with a U.S. Supreme Court fight possibly looming -- President Obama is effectively urging the U.S. Senate to rubber-stamp every outrageous decision the Board has made over these past several months.

Without your immediate action, I'm afraid he could get away with it.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. President Obama is brazenly asking the United States Senate to rubber stamp every outrageous decision the union-label NLRB has issued in the last 16 months.

Should the Senate confirm this five-member "package deal," the union-label NLRB could then simply quickly concur with every one of the 1,600 outrageous decisions made while the Board was operating unconstitutionally!
