Foundation attorneys plan to file an appeal with NLRB General Counsel Arthur Rosenfeld.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe shutdown of West Coast ports was a naked attempt to exploit an economic crisis for the purpose of increasing union coercive power at the expense of workers,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation. \u201cUnfortunately, this is not an isolated incident.  Union bosses have a long history of using economic and wartime crises to grab power.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Control over the clerk jobs was a top bargaining priority for the union hierarchy, whose actions sparked a $2-billion-a-day shutdown of West Coast ports last Fall.   Before the 10-day lockout in October, the ILWU hierarchy employed a variety of work slowdown tactics including deliberately understaffing key operations and sending workers to jobs for which they were not qualified, which made it impossible for the ports to function.<\/p>\n<p>Last February, several members of Utah\u2019s Congressional Delegation, including Senator Hatch, Senator Bennett, and Representative Cannon, urged the NLRB to take quick action.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is the time for NRLB General Counsel Arthur Rosenfeld to step up and protect these workers from being the victim of another blatant union power grab,\u201d stated Gleason.<\/p>\n<p>The employees are responsible for tactical management of day-to-day activities and perform computerized planning work over the company\u2019s rail, yard, and vessel functions.  By insisting that this planning work instead be performed at new facilities at the ports staffed by unionized \u201cmarine clerks\u201d rather than non-union employees, ILWU and PMA officials are in violation of the employees\u2019 right to refrain from unionization under federal law and Utah\u2019s Right to Work Law.  If allowed to stand, the NRLB\u2019s decision solidifies union control over vital jobs performed by non-union employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salt Lake City, Utah (May 6, 2003) \u2013 The Denver Regional Office of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) today refused to intervene and protect over thirty Salt Lake City area employees of Stevedoring Services of America (SSA) from losing their jobs in retaliation for refraining from union representation.
