Obama�s NLRB Appointee Says Unions Need to be Voted in Quicker
Now that the election is over and we�ve seen in stark light the rebuke that Obama has received, many are wondering if he�ll moderate his far left agenda. But a few movements in the Labor Dept. will disabuse anyone of the notion that Obama intends to drop his left-wing agenda.
Leave it to an Obama appointee to the National Labor Rights Board (NLRB) to want to push votes to install unions in the workplace on an accelerated schedule. I guess all the payoffs and special favors that Obama and his cohorts have given to labor unions in these two of the longest years any president ever had have not been enough.
On Oct. 21, NLRB Member Mark Gaston Pearce said that the time period between filing and the holding of elections for new union representation in a company should be �as brief as possible.�
Of course, this shortened election period is nothing but a sop to Big Labor and intended to hurt businesses that might try to put up a fight against the encroachment of unions.
More at the website -- this is more about accumulation of power than it is anything beneficial to the working stiff. The unions do nothing of benefit -- even the high wages and outrageous benefit packages come with a high administrative cost and they cause the cost of the products to go up so the overall economy is harmed. The benefits are many times underfunded so as the workforce ages, the businesses and public municipalities are strapped for the cash needed to pay them.
