Obama admin wants to require companies to give workers’ numbers, addresses to unions before

The Obama administration is poised to change regulations to allow for union “ambush elections” in which workers have less time to decide whether or not to join a union — and in which workers’ phone numbers and home addresses are provided to unions.

The administration’s National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) proposed rules would allow for union elections — in which workers at a company vote whether or not to unionize — to be held 10 days after a petition is filed. And what, exactly, would be happening to the unions during those 10 days? The new rules require employers to disclose workers’ personal information, including phone numbers, home addresses, and information about when they work their shifts.

Insiders close to the situation believe the new rules will almost certainly go into effect with few or no fundamental changes.

“The members of the Board went through two days of grueling hearings that went into the evening. They asked plenty of probing questions. But I wonder if any minds were changed at all,” Workforce Fairness Institute spokesman Fred Wszolek, who recently testified at an NLRB hearing in opposition to the rule, told The Daily Caller.

To you FReepers who WILL NOT vote for any Republican that’s not “perfect”, here’s what you get. You get a DEMOCRAT Senate and the uncontested ability to stack the NLRB with ANYONE the president wants.

I sure hope you’re proud of your “principle”.

*****************

I certainly am. The crass, stupid and idle enemy of liberty was elected instead of the unctuous, sly and diligent enemy of liberty.

Keep running scum like the other party, keep losing elections to the base with the highest proportion of whores.

Most “labor Leaders” never even did the job that the people in the union does. They were hand picked and given cushy jobs.
Union members are suckers.

I respect you, of course. I just want people to understand that when the NLRB starts rigging union elections, it is because there aren’t enough Republicans around to stop them.

“THEY ARE ALL THE SAME GUY”

They certainly weren’t when Obamacare was voted on by Congress. They certainly weren’t during the Cold War. They certainly aren’t the same on Gun Control.

...but I do understand the strategy of calling them the same, so as to demoralize Republican voters.

I haven't seen the republicans stopping the liberal slide, even when they had both houses.

I'll vote conservative, and the GOP-E can pound sand.

I doubt that as both he living in Lancaster County Pa and me in Nassau Co, florida hale from the two of the most conservative republican counties in the US. When you spot the difference between Boehner and any of the dems on most issues, especially as they relate to the Tea Party initiatives, let me know.

Including a bunch of them that are currently in office.

“only took me a split second to throw the materials in the trash at the mandatory public employees’ union presentation I was forced to attend when I was a public employee”

You should get extra points if you were able to complete the toss while they were watching.

They might as well break everybody’s knee caps, just to be on the safe side.

Then, give obamacare to those who “voluntarily” card check....
