Workforce Fairness Institute: NLRB continues Big Labor bailout

I wrote a brief post about the NLRB ruling yesterday regarding the New York New York casino in Las Vegas. Here is WFI's take:

NLRB Continues Big Labor Bailouts
Regulatory Agency Pursuing Job-Killing Agenda

Washington, D.C. (March 29, 2011) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today issued the following statement in response to the most recent decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) stating third party contractors have a right to access private property to organize workers and distribute materials to the general public:

"The NLRB continues to prove they are nothing more than an advocacy arm of Big Labor and their actions call into question why our tax dollars should be directed toward a regulatory agency committed to job-killing policies. The board's finding in New York New York will result in more costs and work disruptions for businesses, which equals less jobs and opportunities," said Katie Gage, executive director of the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "Instead of giving labor bosses access to private property to coerce workers and intimidate customers, maybe the NLRB should encourage their friends at Big Labor to step into the 21st Century and consider other ways of communicating that don’t involve access to property they don't own."
