\nWashington, DC (September 2, 2011) \u2013 Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and National Right to Work Committee, released the following statement regarding this year\u2019s Labor Day holiday.\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\t\u201cThis Labor Day, many workers will enjoy a well-deserved long weekend. But as we prepare to celebrate with friends and family, union officials \u2013 working in concert with the Obama Administration\u2019s National Labor Relations Board \u2013 are mounting an unprecedented bureaucratic offensive to grab more coercive power. Their goal is simple: To expand the number of workers forced to pay union dues and accept mandatory union representation just to keep their jobs.\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cBig Labor\u2019s ambitions were highlighted last week by the abrupt overturn of the NLRB\u2019s Dana decision, which provided a modest check on abusive \u2018card check\u2019 union organizing. Instead of allowing workers a window period to contest the outcome of a card check drive with a secret ballot vote, the NLRB has ensured that union operatives need only present a bare majority of signed authorization cards \u2013 often collected through violent or unsavory means \u2013 to acquire monopoly bargaining privileges.\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAnd this decision is just the tip of the iceberg. The Obama Board \u2013 aided and abetted by its Big Labor allies \u2013 is moving forward with onerous new regulations to facilitate union organizing, including rules that will require companies to turn over employees\u2019 home addresses to aggressive union organizers. Meanwhile, the NLRB is suing several states for attempting to protect workers\u2019 access to secret ballot elections and has issued a complaint against Boeing for locating its newest production line in Right to Work South Carolina.\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThroughout the United States, more than 12 million American workers are already compelled to pay union dues just to keep their jobs. Millions more are required by law to accept a union\u2019s so-called \u2018representation,\u2019 even if they never asked or voted for it.\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMeanwhile, many workers feel they have no choice but to pay for organized labor\u2019s extensive political activities, while others are still unaware of their right to object. That\u2019s why the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is providing free legal aid to thousands of employees nationwide.\n\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThis Labor Day, we commend all workers brave enough to stand up to union intimidation, harassment, and even violence as they defend their cherished freedoms. But we must also continue to fight Big Labor\u2019s bureaucratic attack, which threatens to further subvert workers\u2019 rights.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
