WFI asks for more time for discussion in proposed NLRB "quickie" elections rule change

In a letter obtained by Marathon Pundit, Workforce Fairness Institutes's Fred Wszolek asked that National Labor Relations Board Executive Secretary Lester A. Heltzer lengthen the period of discussion in regards to the NLRB's proposed rule-change allowing "quickie" unionization elections. In fact, it was a quickie announcement by the Board, which Wszolek reminded Helzter was "issued without advance notice" that initiated this latest NLRB overreach. He adds, "The Board's deliberations were not noticed nor was there a public Board meeting. And the board never solicited input from the affected parties before the proposed rules were announced."

The WFI is requesting that the NLRB extend the period of public comments from August 21 until November 19, add 15 days for responsive comments that would begin on November 21, and to postpone the planned July 18-19 public hearings to a date at least 30 days after the proposed comments period ends.

That seems fair to me.
