From the Workforce Fairness Institute:
Another Obama Administration Payback To Big Labor "Can't Wait"Technorati tags:
Washington, D.C. (October 26, 2011) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today released the following statement in response to news reports that President Obama's Department of Labor will issue a rule resulting in less financial disclosure on the part of union bosses at the same time it considers a regulation requiring employers to provide detailed and confidential information, which will have the effect of preventing employees from hearing both sides of the unionization debate.
"President Obama simply 'can't wait' to payback his friends in Big Labor. While the president talks about job creation, his concerns rest with rewarding political allies at the expense of workers and small businesses," said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "By reducing the financial disclosure for Big Labor bosses knowing they are engaged in questionable activities at the same time his Department of Labor works to stifle the ability of employers to communicate with employees about unionization, President Obama has completely undermined his own credibility with America’s workforce. Voters will see the president’s actions for what they are, and they may be the ones who "can't wait" to make a change next year."
