Rep. Tom Price calls for defunding NLRB

Rep. Tom Price (R-GA)

Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) has submitted an appropriations amendment to completely defund the National Labor Relations Board. Last year, using a recess appointment, named radical union lawyer Craig Becker to the NLRB.

Becker has advocated using regulatory agencies to institute union card check--which eliminates the right of workers to a secret ballot election when asked if they want to join a union.

Democracy often moves slowly, but the separation of powers that the Founding Fathers had in mind when the Constitution was written is balancing the ship.
