“We knew we were going to have a boxing match, but we didn’t expect our opponents to come in with a baseball bat,” Liebman, a Democrat, told The New York Times.

That truly is a crying shame. We need to come in with chainsaws instead.

>“The perception of this agency as doing radical things is mystifying to me,” Liebman continued. <<

If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it probably is too good to be true.

That’s my opinion. We should not be bringing a baseball bat to a chainsaw fight.

A standard tactic for such radicals. They create policies that are totally beyond their authority, and are highly unconstitutional and intrusive, harming lots of people and businesses. And then, when they are called out on it, whine that it is their opponents who are radical and extreme for opposing them.

Think about it, wacko leftists calling conservatives “extremists” for opposing radical change. Turning the definition of the word on its head.

I don’t know about a baseball bat, but somebody definitely hit her with an ugly stick.

Another good find. I am stealing this. Put it up on the website, and just on Twitter. :)

Looks more like an “Ugly Stick” than a baseball bat.

Twenty-five years ago, this Board served as a mediating force between battling union locals, internationals or district committees and employers and employer associations. It found a middle line and was feared and respected by both sides.

Since the Clinton era, that position of legitimate mediation has been totally lost by “activism” and taking sides to promote a unionism agenda.

This will help kill unions as employers will be convinced that they have no impartial appeal boards or assistance available and therefore will do all that they can to not become signatory firms.

Like the risk of exposure to “unfunded pension or healthcare fund liability” this will drive another nail in the coffin of “organized” labor.
