Some of the same business groups President Barack Obama is courting with his regulatory review and support for a corporate-tax overhaul said Thursday they would fight his renomination of former union lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.

President Barack Obama’s administration continues its private sector unionization efforts, this time with the historically “politically neutral” National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). A newly proposed rule from the NLRB would require private sector companies to post employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act, the legislation that gives employees the “right” to unionize, in their […]
Obama himself said in September that he would try to help unions via regulations rather than Congress, telling fans at a Fairfax, Va., rally that they just didn’t have the Senate votes for things like card check. Card check would let unions use a petition drive to organize, eliminating the NLRB-monitored secret ballot. Critics say that […]
Amidst a week of major events dominating the news landscape, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) dropped a bomb last Friday afternoon. Apparently, the NLRB felt the need to flex some muscle and has threatened to sue four states over laws passed by voter referendum in November. The laws in question would guarantee workers the […]
Labor unions can’t persuade Congress to destroy workplace voting rights, but their Obama-appointed lackeys at the National Labor Relations Board do their dirty work anyway. Twice in the past six weeks, the NLRB has sided with union bosses over ordinary workers, smothering the ideal of secret elections.
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said he was prepared to fight the NLRB. “If they want to sue, my attitude is, bring it on, because we think card-check violates federal constitution protections,” he said. A spokesman for South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson also said the state stood by its amendment, which was approved by […]
CDW issued a statement in response to a threat by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to sue four states where voters passed ballot measures intended to guarantee the right to secret-ballots when employees decide whether or not to join a union
Employers should still expect significant changes, however, as the president will instead advance his regulatory agenda administratively through the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the issuance of executive orders. If you’re running a nonunion workplace today, these developments will make it easier for unions to organize your employees. Regardless of one’s personal feelings about […]
The National Labor Relations Board announced on Friday that it planned to sue Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah in an effort to invalidate recently approved state constitutional amendments that prohibit private sector workers from choosing a union through a process known as card check.

While it’s unclear how soon these nominations will be considered by the Senate, the confirmation hearings do provide the Senate with an opportunity to review much of the recent NLRB activity that has so alarmed employers. The Board is slated to make decisions in many key cases, including Lamons Gasket Company, which addresses issues with […]
President Barack Obama nominated Terence Flynn, a Republican, to the National Labor Relations Board, filling an open slot on the five-member agency that handles disputes between unions and companies.
People will be safe in 2011-12 from the Employee Free Choice Act, a union-supported bill that would take away workers’ rights to a secret ballot in union elections and impose mandatory contracts between newly unionized firms and workers. But the Obama-controlled National Labor Relations Board isn’t listening. It wants to do everything in its power […]
The board Tuesday proposed a rule that would force employers to post notices informing workers of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act, including the right to join a union.
