Dear Friends,
Once again, the National Labor Relations Board is rewriting union election rules to disenfranchise workers, silence employers, and aid Big Labor. After an intentionally hastened rule making process, the two Democrat NLRB appointees are trying to ram through the dangerous Ambush Election rule.
The proposed ambush election rule would shorten the amount of time between when a union calls an election, and when that election is actually held. Employers are currently afforded, on average, 31 days to educate their employees about the pros and cons of unionization. Effectively silencing an employer, the NLRB rule would allow the NLRB to hold an election only ten days after the union informs the employer of intent to unionize.
More importantly, this will give workers an insufficient amount of time to consider joining a union. When workers cast their ballot, they will do so having heard one side of the story—the unions.
In order to overturn this unprecedented change in election law, House Republicans have introduced the aptly named Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act. Tomorrow, the House will vote to overturn the ambush election rule and restore long-held election practices.
Tell your Representative to support the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act.
Onward,
Grover Norquist President Americans for Tax Reform
