Marathon Pundit: NLRB helps Big Labor, not workers

Writing for Investors Business Daily, Bill Wilson, president of Americans for Limited Government, blows the whistle on President Obama's radicalized NLRB.

Of all the federal agencies engaging in "bold, persistent experimentation" with our economy in recent years, U.S. President Barack Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been among the boldest, most persistent and most experimental.

The problem? Its policies haven't helped American workers (just as Obama's profligate spending hasn't "stimulated" the economy).

The NLRB — which infamously sued aircraft manufacturer Boeing in 2011 for daring to create jobs in a right-to-work state — has become nothing more than a taxpayer-funded attack dog for Big Labor.

What began four years ago with a decision to relax reporting requirements for union bosses (reversing a Bush-era policy aimed at targeting union corruption) has now morphed into a full-fledged war against free enterprise.
