According to Neal Boortz, it's no secret that the labor unions are disappointed with Barack Obama and the Democrats. One of the many reasons is because of their failure to pass the Unionization-by-intimidation (card check) legislation. But even if the Obama administration can't deliver on card check, they will find a way to appease the unions. After all ... Obama and the Democrats know who got them elected.
Ever heard of something called the National Mediation Board? It's a three-member panel established during the days of FDR. It was originally created in order to mediate labor-management disputes in the railroad industry. But like any good government creation, it grew. Its powers grew. Its regulatory purview expanded. As this board currently stands, two of the three members are former union officials.
So now the Obama administration is apparently pushing for new arbitration rules. These rules would help unions to gain a representation certificate so long as it wins any representation election. It doesn't have to be an vote of all the workers ... just some small group will do. Here's how the National Right to Work Foundation describes it ...
"The new procedure would stack the deck in favor of unionization by granting a union monopoly bargaining power over workers if the union 'wins' an election, no matter how few eligible workers actually participate in the vote. In fact, this means that a small bloc of workers could force union boss 'representation' on the whole group as opposed to a true majority of all workers deciding for themselves."
