We’ve long known that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is working to promote the interests of Big Labor every day. But rarely has the connection been so clear.
Today, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union announced an action by the NLRB…before the NLRB announced it. Huh? Yup.
“The National Labor Relations Board’s General Counsel is issuing a decision today to prosecute Walmart…” led the news release from the UFCW.
News of this broke, by complete coincidence we’re sure, while UFCW front group ourWalmart was holding a media conference call to announce their post-Thanksgiving plans to protest at — wait for it — Walmart.
Of course virtually nothing surprises us when we see the hand in glove relationship between the Big Labor bosses and the NLRB, but this comes pretty close. When the unions themselves become the press agents of the agency, something has gone completely wrong at the Board that is supposed to serve as a watchdog on both employers and unions.
