Obama NLRB’s Ambush Election Rules Smacked Down By Circuit Court…For Now
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | May 15th at 10:30 AM |
On Monday, in a nice victory for America’s union-free workplace, Barack Obama’s pro-union appointees at the National Labor Relations Board had their recently-imposed rules allowing for so-called “ambush” (or “quickie”) union elections overturned by the District Court for the District of Columbia. In December, the Obama NLRB promulgated new rules (which went into effect on April 30th) that eviscerated an employer’s right to challenge a | 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. Moreover, given unions’ legal ability to deceive workers into unionizing, it is believed the NLRB’s doing union’s | Read More »
Yet Another Reason Why Today’s Unions Suck: Dues Devour Wage Increases
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | April 26th at 06:00 PM |
On the eve of Obama’s NLRB unleashing its new rules giving unions the ability to hold ambush elections—that is, the evisceration of employers’ ability to question or challenge unions in their quest to cherry-pick voting units—more data was just released by the Bureau of National Affairs that calls into question why anyone in their right mind would pay dues to a union today. In addition | Read More »
Right-To-Work Is Right For Ohio* (and Elsewhere)
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | April 9th at 12:30 PM |
* See update at bottom. As today’s government-union bosses push higher taxes, establish dues schemes to fund their bloated salaries and union-bought politicians, the evidence has become pretty clear: Government unions have become political, parasitic entities injuring taxpayers and the communities they control (see Central Falls and Providence, RI; Detroit, MI; and the once-great State of California for examples). In the private sector, however, where taxpayers’ | Read More »
From Hope to Hopelessness: Obama’s Economy Has 88 Million “Not In Labor Force”
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | April 7th at 08:30 AM |
It was less than a year ago that Barack Obama’s senior adviser, David Plouffe said: After 2½ years in office, President Obama now “owns” the economy as an issue, according to top adviser David Plouffe, who added he was confident that voters understand that recovering from a devastating recession Mr. Obama inherited takes time. “Of course he does,” Mr. Plouffe told NBC’s “Today” show host Matt | Read More »
Open Thread: SEIU’s Astroturf Paid $20 To Protest For ObamaCare Outside SCOTUS
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | March 29th at 12:00 PM |
As you watch the video below [via SEIU Monitor], you can tell the astroturf protesters bused in by the SEIU yesterday to protest outside the Supreme Court for ObamaCare hold some very deep convictions. In fact, their convictions run so deep, it seems all they care about is the $20 given to them in brown envelopes by their union handlers. Ironically, as SEIU Monitor points | Read More »
Strange Bedfellows: Unions Protesting For The Right To Target Private Residences Get Tea Party Approval
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | March 28th at 05:00 PM |
Union thugs protesting outside the homes of their targets has become a weapon more and more unions have added to their already-large arsenal. Now that the State of Georgia may become the first state to outlaw the offensive tactic, oddly enough, unions are getting support from an unlikely source–the Tea Party Patriots. Last year, when 45,000 union members struck telephone carrier Verizon, IBEW union radicals | Read More »
Unwittingly, Obama’s NLRB Moves To Put Final Nail In Private-Sector Unions’ Coffin
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | March 23rd at 08:00 AM |
For all of the pro-union leanings of President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board appointees, the NLRB is, unwittingly, about to do something that those of us in the preventive labor relations field have been doing for years: Educate employees that they don’t need to pay dues to a union in order to exercise their rights. In 1935, Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act. The cornerstone | Read More »

Obama Judge Rules Companies Must Post NLRB’s Union Posters, Declines to Consider NLRB Appointments
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | March 3rd at 03:00 PM |
On Friday, Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson approved the union-dominated National Labor Relations Board’s mandate on nearly all private-sector companies to post so-called “union rights posters.” Additionally, Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, declined to hear a challenge to Obama’s recent NLRB appointments. In the union rights poster ruling, Berman Jackson ruled that the NLRB | Read More »
Let A Warrior’s Life And Passing Lead Your Righteous Indignation
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | March 1st at 07:00 PM |
Andrew Breitbart‘s passing has left many of us stunned and stricken with grief. As a contributor at both RedState and BigGovernment, I knew Andrew only through discussions at conferences, texts, and an occasional telephone call. However, this morning, like so many, the news of his untimely death struck like a blow to the gut. Andrew Breitbart was one of a kind. He was an ordinary man | Read More »
Using .Gov Domain & Obama’s Mother, DNC Propaganda Targets Women
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | February 27th at 07:00 PM |
A reader sent the following mailer (see below) from the Democratic National Committee targeting Florida’s female population. The DNC’s large, two-sided mailer reads like an Obama campaign piece (because it is one) and refers readers to a federal government website healthcare.gov. Interestingly, on one side of the mailer, the DNC tells the story of how Barack Obama was motivated to pass Obamacare by the passing of his | Read More »
With Obama Endorsement, Machinists’ Union Bosses Declare Love For Janus…
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | February 27th at 11:00 AM |
Well, it only took four years for Machinists’ union boss Tom Buffenbarger to warm up to Barack Obama, whom the union boss once compared to Janus, the two-faced Roman god. On Friday, as it reluctantly dutifully did four years ago, the International Association of Machinists endorsed Barack Obama and his bid for a second term. In so doing, the Machinists’ union again joins the ranks | Read More »

In Delsea, New Jersey, the teachers’ union (a sub-chapter of the NEA) has been fighting over the amount of their pay increases (not decreases) since 2010. On Valentine’s Day, according to NJ.com, the union teachers decided to make their grievance personal by protesting in front of the Delsea school board president’s home. Unfortunately, the school board president was not home—but his children were, including his daughter | Read More »
SEIU Organizing Tactics Include Intimidation and Lying To Workers, Company Alleges
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | February 24th at 11:00 AM |
One of the biggest problems with the process known as card check (a major component in the union-backed and misleadingly-named Employee Free Choice Act) is that unions are legally allowed to mislead workers into signing their rights over to a union. Under various NLRB decisions that span decades, the federal agency that enforces most of America’s private-sector’s labor law has refused to interfere with union | Read More »
