Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down NLRB Rule to Push More Workers into Union Ranks<\/a><\/h2>\nRight to Work Foundation fights Labor Board’s decision to promote monopoly unionism in virtually every workplace in America<\/h3>\n
Washington, DC (May 7, 2013)<\/b> \u2013 Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) controversial new rule requiring virtually every private-sector employer in the country to post one-sided information about employee rights online and in the workplace, even if the employer had never been accused of unfair labor practices.<\/p>\n
Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation, made the following statement in the wake of the ruling:<\/p>\n
\n"National Right to Work Foundation attorneys argued that the NLRB had exceeded its authority granted by Congress.<\/p>\n
"We are pleased that the D.C. Circuit has reined in one of the NLRB’s more outrageous efforts to expand itself into a taxpayer-funded union organizing operation by holding that the federal agency cannot compel private entities to post pro-union messages in their workplaces.<\/p>\n
"The NLRB’s unprecedented actions infringed upon free speech and clearly exceeded the agency’s statutory authority. This is a good day both for workers and all who value workplace independence and free speech."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
