The cookie just keeps on crumbling for Big Labor. Union bosses keep pushing their agenda, but they also keep hitting brick walls every step of the way. The latest setback is in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit where a three-judge panel decided that Big Labor bosses can’t strong arm employers into posting workplace information about union organizing.
Tom Schoenberg in Bloomberg reports:
A three judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington today said the National Labor Relations Board’s demand that employers provide information about union organizing, bargaining and protests was so-called compelled speech because it didn’t include opposing information such as how to decertify a union or avoid paying dues.
A big part of the problem here is that Big Labor, as it stuffs the rogue Obama Labor Board with nominees, expects employers to just roll over and let them impose their will in the workplace. The federal courts are putting a stop to that, just like they’ve been putting a stop to President Obama’s so-called “recess” appointments to the NLRB, as well as “ambush” elections. Forcing employers to post pro-union material and forcing workers to join a union against their will have both proven to be losers for labor bosses. Clearly, the NLRB went over the top and we’re glad reasoned legal minds prevailed.
And if the NLRB had been truly interested in a balanced approach, maybe they would have considered our poster, which you can see by clicking here.
