Here’s Your Chance to Participate

Fox News and Google are teaming up to organize the debate and are accepting questions from the public. This is a perfect opportunity for everyone who cares about workforce fairness to make an impact! Submit video or text question by clicking here.

Top voted questions will be asked of candidates during the debate. Here are a few ways to make your question stand out, especially if you’re shooting a video:

  1. Ask the question as clearly, concisely, and directly as you can and try to record in a place where there is minimal background noise.
  2. Be creative. For example, if you’re a nurse asking about health care, try to record in a hospital.
  3. Tie your question into a recent news story or event to give it timeliness and relevance.
  4. Give a personal anecdote: In your question, you are allowed enough time to provide your own story to better demonstrate why these issues are important to you.

Be sure to watch the debate to see if your questions are asked!

Candidates Need to Address Our Issues

With the economy struggling, job creation and economic growth will be hot button issues. Candidates need to address important workforce fairness issues like:

H.R. 2587, the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act — the Senate needs to support this important piece of legislation, which seeks to ban the unelected members of the NLRB from designating where a company can do business.

“Quickie” elections – the NLRB has proposed cutting the time of workplace elections in a way that would rig them in favor of union bosses.

Dept. of Labor “Gag Rule” – this proposed regulation would inhibit employers from seeking legal counsel and speaking out during unionization elections.

Micro-Units – the NLRB wants to allow Big Labor to create various bargaining units in one place of work, some as small as two people.

Forced Unionization – the National Mediation Board upended nearly a century of precedent and is forcing unionization on airline and railroad workers.

This is a great opportunity to find out where those running for President stand on these issues.

Questions for YouTube

  • Is it fair to threaten American business by imposing new measures, like the Dept of Labor’s “Gag Rule?” Is it not the right of every American to seek legal counsel without having to report it to the government?
  • In your opinion do the proposed #NLRB rule changes, like “Quickie” elections and Micro-Units, favor union bosses?
  • The National Mediation Board (NMB) recently trashed a century of precedent forcing unionization on airline and railroad workers. Please explain your sentiments regarding this unlawful and unprecedented power grab.

These are just a few of the questions you can send to show the GOP candidates the American public knows that standing up to Big Labor will help create jobs and restore our economy.
