NLRB breaks Obama’s rule on ‘quickie’ union elections, Senate Republican says

Senate Republicans ripped into the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for ignoring a new executive order from President Barack Obama regarding to “quickie” union elections.

Obama’s most recent executive order asked all federal agencies, including independent ones like the NLRB, to refrain from making quick decisions without much public input.

The new “quickie” election rules the NLRB just finalized make it easier for labor unions to organize. They allow unions to request a unionizing election date mere days after initiating an organization effort.

Because unions got their way, many working men and women who are subjected to the NLRB’s new rules may not get all the facts before voting in favor of, or against, unionization.

The NLRB also rejected Obama’s efforts to increase public participation and transparency with new rules at all federal agencies. Obama signed a new executive order on Monday asking that the public have a ‘meaningful opportunity’ to participate in the NLRB’s and other federal agencies’ rulemaking procedures.

I won’t live in a HOA neighborhood, and I won’t pay union dues. F’em both.
