When you hear the term “labor peace,” you might think of some wonderful or harmonious state of existence in which Big Labor bosses and the employers they target can get along.
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
Labor peace is, in reality, an extension of union boss harassment tactics that continue to unfairly push many businesses over the brink. It’s really a very lopsided peace – for union chiefs and their soldiers. A new study released by the Chamber of Commerce’s Workforce Freedom Initiative (also known as “WFI”), goes into excruciating detail to unveil a terrorizing bevy of state and local laws which bully employers, many of them small outfits, into waiving their federal labor law rights. It’s an unseemly pattern of ordinances giving union heads more of what they don’t need: power. But, union bosses don’t care so long as they get yet another loophole to push their agenda.
Explains WFI in a statement:
“Labor peace” ordinances can force employers to grant concessions like recognizing a union based on signed cards rather than a secret ballot election, refraining from providing workers with information on unionization, and allowing outside union organizers into the workplace. These ordinances can cover hotels, restaurants, casinos, other hospitality facilities, and airports, although any facility that receives public funding or some other assistance from a non-federal government entity is a potential target.
Essentially, it’s a ruse for union boss power. The wolf in sheep’s clothing is that it’s law, giving the public the impression that it’s fair when it’s not. As you can imagine, you’ll see a lot of these shady ordinances in union boss-friendly political territory. Big urban areas like New York, North Jersey, Pittsburgh and San Francisco are famous for these barely legal labor laws. Sadly, the damage will be already done to the economy before anyone knows what hit us.
