Unions and Obama scheming on a micro-mess

I wrote about his issue the other day, but I think this subject deserves another look. One thing to keep in mind: the Democratic Party cannot exist without the financial support of unions. President Obama is the most pro-Big Labor president ever. It's payback time.

From Investor's Business Daily:

The National Labor Relations Board is poised to amend organizing rules in a way that would boost unions by letting them target smaller groups of employees.

By law, most organizing efforts must target all people in a workplace. Now the NLRB may let unions cherry-pick the groups easiest to sign up, bypassing other employees for the time being.

That would give unions a toehold in workplaces that they've struggled to organize in the past and may encourage employers to accept full unionization as the least-bad option.

"The case is a radical departure from decades-old board law establishing what is an appropriate bargaining unit," said former NLRB Chairman Peter Schaumber.
And it's not just Obama who is kowtowing to Big Labor, as you'll read below.

  1. This is still a somewhat free country, Boeing has the right to do business in what ever state it chooses. If the business climate in one state isn't favorable they have a duty to their shareholders to locate in a state that will provide a more favorable climate end of story. Unions are responsible for the destruction of just as may industries and jobs in America as the corrupt politicians and their regulations. America, if you want to know why there are no jobs here just look at the unions and the government. The unions impost ridiculous work rules and make labor costs outrageously high while government regulations and taxes only add to that making the cost of doing business here unfordable so they have no choice but to move offshore or go out of business.
