WFI statement on passage of Workforce Democracy & Fairness Act

Earlier this afternoon the House passed, 235 to 188, the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act, which seeks to fight back against NLRB overreach.

From a Workforce Fairness Institute Press release:
"Passage of legislation in the U.S. House that reins in an out-of-control regulatory agency sends the message to Big Labor bosses that the legislative branch is not going to sit by and allow government bureaucrats to punish workers and small businesses with job-killing policies," said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "The Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act protects the free speech and rights of employees, and ensures misguided policies such as 'ambush' elections and the formation of 'micro-units' no longer threaten American employers. This legislation merits prompt consideration in the U.S. Senate as it will immediately communicate to job creators that Washington is serious about ending the regulatory onslaught that has produced uncertainty and job loss throughout the country."
Earlier today the radical agency voted to approve "ambush" elections.
