And the unions want more, more, more...

Dear Rossco, Fresh off the heels of the Obama Labor Board's  outrageous complaint against Boeing for creating  thousands of new jobs in Right to Work South  Carolina, President Obama's pro-forced unionism  minions are it again. On Tuesday, unelected bureaucrats at both the  National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and  Department of Labor (DOL) announced new guidelines  which together will make union organizing campaigns  as one-sided as possible. The goal is simple: Keep independent workers from  opposing unionization and force them into dues- paying ranks. Just like Big Labor's Card Check Forced Unionism  Bill, which grassroots citizens managed to stall  in Congress last year, the new procedures are  designed to make it easier for union organizers to intimidate and harass workers into accepting their  so-called "representation." Under the NLRB's new union certification election  rules, union organizers can launch stealth campaigns  in which they collect "union authorization cards"  from just 30 percent of employees in the workplace  while the vast majority of workers and the employer  have no idea what is happening. Collecting enough cards -- through whatever means  necessary -- would trigger an ambush election in  just days, denying independent-minded workers and  the company time to share any truthful and  noncoercive information with employees about the  effects of unionization. Professional union organizers regularly push for unionization behind the scenes for months or even  years as part of their drive for more forced union  dues, but under the new rules workers wishing to  remain independent may only have days to counter  years of union-boss propaganda. Further, NLRB rules mean that once a union gets in,  it will be years before workers get a chance to kick  out the union...if ever. In the same spirit to curtail the speech of job  providers, the Department of Labor has proposed  new rules that would swamp companies with red tape  and paperwork if they dare to truthfully inform  workers about the downsides of monopoly bargaining. Not only that, the new NLRB election rules will  FORCE companies to hand over to union bosses a  list of the names, addresses, phone numbers, and  email addresses of every employee, opening up  workers to aggressive "home visits" by union  operatives. In fact, union officials could even withdraw their  election petition but keep the personal contact  information of the workers, saving it for a full- scale card check campaign at a later date. Lies. Deception. Even outright intimidation. There's no tactic an aggressive union organizer  won't try. Your National Right to Work Foundation has  provided free legal aid to victims of abusive  card check tactics. But the Obama Labor Board is also poised to overturn  the 2007 Dana Corp. precedent -- won by Foundation  attorneys -- that allows workers to force a secret  ballot vote to kick out an unwanted union that gained control of the workplace in an abusive "card check" campaign. The Obama Administration wants to make it easier for  union operatives to steamroll over workers while  making it next to impossible for independent-minded  workers to stand up for their rights or decertify  the union hierarchy. Big Labor and its allies have launched a full-scale  assault on worker freedom. The complaint against Boeing wasn't the beginning,  and as we saw this week, it won't stop there. We're already preparing to challenge these bureaucratic giveaways to Big Labor too. Foundation attorneys and  other Right to Work experts are carefully studying  the most effective ways to fight back. That's why your continued support is so crucial. If you can, please chip in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more today. Big Labor's "Plan A" to ram Card Check Forced  Unionism through Congress last year failed. Now,  "Plan B" is upon us. Sincerely, Mark Mix P.S. The Foundation relies completely on voluntary contributions from its supporters to provide free  legal aid.
