**Atlantic City, NJ (March 30, 2007)** \u2013 A national employee rights organization filed a union unfair labor practice charge and requested a formal congressional investigation into misconduct by Congressman Robert Andrews (D-NJ) in interfering with a union certification election scheduled for tomorrow at the Trump Plaza Hotel. <\/p>\n

The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation filed the charges seeking a postponement of the election until the taint of union misconduct and coercion dissipates, or, in the alternative, that the ballots cast by the casino dealers on Saturday, March 31, be impounded until after disposition of the unfair labor practice charge.<\/p>\n

The NLRB unfair labor practice charge points out that Congressman Andrews led an extraordinary public event (which was televised and disseminated by other media) and aided UAW union officials in interfering with the free exercise of employee rights in choosing whether to unionize. \u201cActing under the false imprimatur of NLRB authority,\u201d Andrews counted union authorization cards that were not necessarily intended by employees to be considered formal votes, and he signed and announced a \u201cCertification of Majority Status\u201d for unionization.<\/p>\n

The NLRB charge notes that such actions tend to suppress turnout for the upcoming election, induce employees to vote for a \u201cpre-certified\u201d union, disenfranchise employees, and destroy the \u201claboratory conditions\u201d under which NLRB elections must take place. Only the NLRB may \u201ccertify\u201d a union and only after a formal, secret ballot election (which is yet to occur).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Foundation has formally requested a congressional ethics investigation into Congressman Andrews\u2019 conduct. Under congressional ethics rules, Members must not interfere with the proceedings of federal agencies, such as the NLRB. Additionally, Andrews appears to have misused his office and \u201csymbols of official sponsorship\u201d to create the impression amongst Trump Plaza employees that the election \u201cis a foregone conclusion, if it is conducted at all.\u201d Finally, the request asks for an investigation into whether Andrews improperly used his position to aid the UAW union as a commercial enterprise, particularly because the UAW PAC was one of the top five donors to Andrews. This conduct \u201csignals to employees that they could fall out of the Congressman\u2019s favor if they do not support the union.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese disturbing circumstances are compounded by the fact that Rep. Andrews effectively impersonated a federal agency…and deceived employees who may be unfamiliar with the intricacies of NLRB certification procedures and who may be unaware that Members of Congress play no role whatsoever,\u201d wrote National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix<\/a> in today\u2019s letter to the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cRep. Andrews\u2019 actions in aiding UAW union officials in committing an Unfair Labor Practice \u2013 designed to deprive employees of their right to a fair election to determine if they desire UAW union representation \u2013 harm the credibility of the U.S. House of Representatives,\u201d Mix continued.<\/p>\n
