WFI sends letter on Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act

An obscure workplace rule that is part of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, has been interpreted, or I'd like to say, misinterpreted, by the Obama Labor Department.

Red State explains it well:

You need to act before Wednesday. At a time when the Obama Administration is clamoring to save or create jobs, his Department of Labor is about to sucker punch America's job creators with an unprecedented regulatory overreach—all to curry more favor with union bosses.

On Wednesday, the public comment period will be closing on a Department of Labor proposal that the majority of America knows nothing about and even fewer understand.

If enacted as drafted, the union cronies within the Department of Labor will require every private-sector employer and service provider (whether or not they ever talk directly to employees) to file financial statements with the Obama Labor Department if the service provider's services indirectly affect employees’ choice to unionize or not.

The Workforce Fairness Institute expresses its firm opposition in a letter to Andrew R. Davis, who is the Chief of the Division of Interpretations and Standards at the Labor Department.
