The new rules dramatically shorten the time frame individual workers have to share truthful information with their coworkers about the effects of unionization.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the rules require job providers to disclose the personal information of workers (including their home address, phone number, email address, and shift information), thus opening up dissenting or undecided employees to intimidation, harassment, or worse.<\/p>\n<p>The new rules also create a loophole which allows union organizers to claim they have support of 30 percent of employees in the workplace, the minimum number required to initiate an election, despite a dispute regarding the size of the bargaining unit in question.  Then, union organizers who fear that they do not have enough support to win an election could withdraw their request for an election and use the newly-gotten personal information in later attempts to unionize the employees.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"\/en\/press\/2011\/08\/worker-advocate-challenges-obama-nlrb-election-changes-08182011\">Read the entire release here.<\/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=\"middle\" border=\"0\" height=\"48\" width=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2011\/08\/worker-advocate-challenges-obama-nlrb-election-changes-08182011\" title=Worker Advocate Challenges Obama Labor Board Pro-Union Boss Election Rule Change\">Worker Advocate Challenges Obama Labor Board Pro-Union Boss Election Rule Change<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic\">New rule would allow union bosses ambush workers into forced-dues-paying union ranks<\/h3>\n<p>Washington, DC (August 18, 2011) \u2013 The National Right to Work Foundation \u2013 the nation\u2019s premier advocate for workers who suffer from the abuses of compulsory unionism \u2013 filed formal comments today with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) opposing the Board\u2019s proposed new guidelines which will help give union organizers the upper hand over independent-minded employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
