By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  May 24th at 09:30 PM  | 

Recently, a federal court smacked down Barack Obama’s union appointees at the National Labor Relations Board for the manner in which they imposed their ambush election scheme. The scheme is, however, far from dead as the union-controlled labor board is “determined to move forward” with the needless rules. While there is much opposition to the NLRB’s ambush election rules, few have yet to address the underlying | Read More »

Defiant NLRB ‘Determined To Move Forward’ With Ambush Union Elections

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  May 16th at 03:00 PM  | 

On Monday, when the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia smacked down the Obama NLRB’s new “ambush” election procedures, the court made clear that the union-controlled labor board overstepped its bounds by imposing its new rules without a proper quorum (as required under a U.S. Supreme Court case). That, however, has not deterred the NLRB’s chairman (and union attorney) Mark Pearce from vowing to | Read More »

Obama’s NLRB Unleashes Ambush Elections on America’s Job Creators

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  April 30th at 08:15 AM  | 

On Monday, April 30th, Barack Obama’s union-controlled National Labor Relations Board will be imposing its new union election rules, designed to ambush unsuspecting employers. Since unions won over 71% of the 1595 NLRB-conducted elections in 2011, the NLRB’s radical departure from past precedent is neither necessary, nor warranted.

Here’s the bad news: The bill, which is actually one of the better bills for employers and their employees to come out of the union-related bills floating around the House,  has no chance of becoming law while | Read More »

In this case, the union appointees  within Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board have issued a press release stating they will be issuing their final rule on ambush elections on November 30th.

This week, on Monday and Tuesday, an “open meeting” occurred at President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board over the NLRB’s proposal to move toward ambush elections.
