Union abuse of employee personal info---it is already happening

President Obama's radicalized National Labor Relations Board wants to force employers to surrender workers' home phone numbers and personal email addresses to labor unions to give them a leg up in their organizing efforts.

Hmm...do you think that information can be abused. Well, the Service Employees International Union is doing just that in New England.

From Legal NewsWire:
Fellowship Health Resources Inc. has filed an unfair labor practice charge with Region One of the National Labor Relations Board against the SEIU Local 509 in Massachusetts.

The nonprofit organization claims that the union representatives at their Fall River, New Bedford, and Cape Cod facilities engage in disruptive and deceptive tactics.

"SEIU organizers have lied to FHR staff in order to obtain signatures on union authorization cards by claiming to be fellow FHR employees who are merely conducting a 'survey', or advocating with a 'petition' for more money at the State House," explains FHR President/CEO Joe Dziobek. "In reality, we believe our employees were being deceived into signing union authorization cards."

According to the company, SEIU union organizers have been making visits to FHR employees' homes since January and have been trying to gain access, at all hours of the night, to FHR's group residential programs often using false pretenses. When discovered and asked to leave the organizers have refused until threatened that the police will be called.
Dziobek goes on to say, "Staff repeatedly tell me that the union obtains access and signatures under false pretenses." In related news, the Workforce Fairness Institute, in a letter to House Judiciary Committee member Sandy Adams (R-FL), urges support for the H.R. 3991, the Keeping Employees' Emails & Phones Secure Act (KEEP Secure Act).

Also, once Big Labor gets a big email list--what is to stop them from handing it over to political campaigns and lord knows, what else.
