Senate Appropriations Subcommittee Stands Up To The NLRB
WFI Applauds The Efforts By The Senate To Fight Against Big Labor’s Anti-Worker Agenda
Washington, D.C. (June 29, 2015) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) issued the following statement in response to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee’s actions to cut the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) budget:
“We applaud the recent efforts by the House and Senate for using the power of the purse to defund pro-union NLRB labor regulations in an effort to protect the rights of American workers and businesses” said Heather Greenaway, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). “The ambush election rule unfairly penalizes employers and employees and would have widespread implications for small and large businesses alike. Employers would be blindsided by these quickie elections and employees would have no time to understand the unintended consequences of joining a union, meanwhile, union organizers, who are trained in this regard, may have spent months canvassing before even filing their election petition.”
The Workforce Fairness Institute is an organization committed to educating voters, employers, employees and citizens about issues affecting the workplace. To learn more, please visit: http://www.workforcefairness.com.
