In a series of cases nationwide, union lawyers asked the NLRB to revoke the new protections to workers swept into union ranks through card check forced unionism, and now three members of the Board \u2013 all former union lawyers themselves \u2013 have agreed to consolidate two of those cases in a review of <i>Dana<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs the dissenting Board members point out, workers across the country have already used <i>Dana<\/i> decertification elections to kick out unwanted unions, demonstrating the unreliability of card check instant organizing campaigns.  Workers frequently sign union authorization cards due to union organizers\u2019 intimidating tactics or even outright lies about what signing a card means.  To remove the limited protection of the secret ballot in these  cases \u2013 as the Obama NLRB appears set to do \u2013 would deny workers the ability to vote according to their conscience and remove an unwanted union from their workplace.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2010\/09\/obama-labor-board-launches-assault-w\">Read the full press release.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/newsrelease.png\" style=\"padding-left: 60px\" alt=\"News Release\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"457\" height=\"48\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2010\/09\/obama-labor-board-launches-assault-w\" title=\"Obama Labor Board Launches Assault on Workers' Right to Secret Ballot to Remove Unwanted Union\">Obama Labor Board Launches Assault on Workers&#8217;
