As the Wall Street Journal editorial board writes:A President has the power to make a recess appointment, and we’ve supported Mr. Obama’s right to do so. The Constitutional catch is that Congress must be in recess.The fact that three of these appointments were for the National Labor Relations Board — a federal bureaucracy that has already lost all credibility due to its blatant leaning in favor of Big Labor –  adds insult to injury. Even worse, the president only sent the names of the pro-union NLRB nominees to the Senate at the 11th hour, effectively prohibiting any thoughtful consideration of their qualifications.

Rather than working with the Senate to name board members that would restore the agency’s fairness and credibility, the Administration’s appointments will only embolden an agency that is already out of control.

The federal overreach has gotten out of hand.

It’s time to say enough is enough… How many Laws do these people gave to break before Americans stand up and say STOP !!  

Email your members of Congress today and urge them to step up their efforts to rein in the overreaching NLRB.

                            Encourage Congress to Pass the Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act 

According to the Friends of the U.S. Chamber, Congress is about to fight back against the overreach of the unelected bureaucrats at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – and your help is needed.

The House is expected to vote this week on the Workforce and Democracy Fairness Act (H.R. 3094) – and we ask that you email your members of Congress to urge them to support this common sense bill.

This bill is designed to fight back against the NLRB’s efforts to end-run Congress to enact a radical, anti-business agenda. They have tried everything from attempting to limit the ability of employers to exercise their free speech rights to giving businesses less time to respond to unionizing efforts.

It would block the NLRB’s proposed “ambush election rule” by providing for fair representation hearing processes and guarantee that employees have ample opportunity to hear both sides of the debate before casting their ballots in a representation election. 

It would also codify the long-standing criteria that the Board has traditionally used for determining the appropriateness of a proposed bargaining unit.

The House must pass this bill.  Email your members of Congress to make sure they get the message. It’s time to tell the NLRB “enough is enough.”

Now is the time for us all to standup and help STOP the big power Unions and Keep Americans work choice free and fair.

For weeks, press reports indicated the so-called “Occupy” movement was infested with union agitators seeking to create a climate for more government spending and more forced unionism.

In a report from the Washington Examiner Police Chief Cathy Lanier says :

“That is no longer a peaceful protest,” explained D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier, reports the Washington Examiner Lanier stated that the Occupiers have become more “confrontational and violent toward uninvolved bystanders and motorists” and even “jeopardized the safety of their own children by using them in blockades.”

You see, ever since the Supreme Court’s infamous 1973 Enmons decision, union bosses have been granted immunity from prosecution for acts of violence and vandalism they orchestrate in the so-called “pursuit of legitimate union objectives.”

This outrageous loophole in federal law has effectively tied the hands of federal law enforcement officers and has permitted union bosses and their handpicked “enforcers” to achieve their union goals – by any means necessary.

That’s why the Freedom from Union Violence Act (FUVA) is so vital. To learn more about FUVA and how you can help urge Congress to take action, please click here.

Unless the politicians in Washington are forced to pay attention, they will continue to turn a blind eye to the violence committed by their union-boss patrons.

Union workers in Missouri recognize that the EPA’s aggressive push will cost consumers more money while threatening to destroy jobs.

The Chamber of Commerce has been screaming about the EPAs jobs-strangling regulation for months. Bill Kovacs, Senior VP of science, technology and regulatory affairs testified before a Congressional Committee last summer:The cumulative impact of regulatory action can be overwhelming:  agencies literally have the power to decide the fate of firms and entire industries.  American Electric Power Co. made headlines last month when it disclosed that EPA’s “train wreck” of coal industry regulations—Coal Ash, Utility MACT, the Transport Rule and Cooling Water Intake structures—would force the utility to retire 6,000 megawatts of coal-fired generating capacity and spend another $6 billion to $8 billion reworking the rest of its fleet.  AEP would close three power plants in West Virginia, one in Ohio and one in Virginia, and would retire several boilers at coal plants in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Virginia.  

     Unions are against the new EPA rules. Governors and utility companies are fighting it in the courts. And citizens will be hurt by massive, nationwide job losses as well as increased electricity costs

Maybe even the Big Unions are starting to realize Big Government is not the way to go.

nting quickie elections, forcing employers to put up a poster telling employees how to organize, and preventing employers from opening their businesses where they please (as in the Boeing case).

 Earlier this month  Rep. Benjamin Quayle (R-AZ) introduced a bill to repeal the rule requiring employers to post a new federal notice of an employee’s right to organize, which is scheduled to go into effect on Nov. 14^th.  The Employee Workplace Freedom Act would rescind this rule.

 Several business groups are also adding their weight to the contest, in the form of legal action. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a new lawsuit against the new posting rule, claiming the NLRB failed to perform an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis before seeking public comment on the rule.

Once again the NLRB has gone to far and Groups and Representives are standing up and fighting for all of our rights. It is time we all join in this fight and stand up for our  Freedom to work! No one should be forced to work for a Union if they do not want to.

A press release from the board today announced the finalization of
this rule. All employers covered by the Act are required to post the
notice in their workplace by Nov. 14th, 2011.

We believe the National Labor Relations Board is once again changing rules and playing favorites with the Unions.

 Spread the word to all of your friends and business associates as to what is really taking place in this Great country of ours,  how our work choices are being taken away more and more each day.

” What I say now, I say as a proud former union member and the wife, daughter, and sister of union members. So, as a former card-carrying IBEW sister married to a proud former Laborers, IBEW, and later USW member, please hear me out. What I have to say is for the hard working, patriotic, selfless union brothers and sisters in Michigan and throughout our country: Please don’t be taken in by union bosses’ thuggery like Jim Hoffa represented yesterday. Union bosses like this do not have your best interests at heart. What they care about is their own power and re-electing their friend Barack Obama so he will take care of them to the detriment of everyone else “.

Whether you support Palin or not this is a great speech please read the whole thing !

 The union bosses are “grabbing the golden goose and squeezing that last final golden egg out” by scheming to eliminate nonunion private-sector jobs and lobbying for bigger government so they can corral more government workers into dues-paying ranks.

Where is the main stream media ’s reporting on this…We have heard many stories about the shady ways that some of the Unions deal with the Non- Union Contractors, how do they get away with this ?

The Blaze is a great news site to get the Truth and All of the stories the Media forgets to tell us about.

According to a new study released by the National University System Institute for Policy Research (NUSIPR), California school construction projects built using project labor agreements (PLAs) experienced increased costs of 13 percent to 15 percent, or $28.90 to $32.49 per square foot, compared to projects that did not use a PLA.

The findings of the NUSIPR study are particularly important because California voters have approved $64 billion in school construction bonds during the past decade and several school districts have adopted the use of PLAs on these projects.

Typical PLAs are pre-hire contracts that require projects be awarded only to contractors and subcontractors that agree to:

• recognize unions as the representatives of their employees on that job
• use the union hiring hall to obtain workers
• obtain apprentices exclusively from union apprenticeship programs
• pay into underfunded and mismanaged union pension and benefit plans
• obey costly, restrictive and inefficient union work rules
