Since Bush "de-balled" the NLRB, virtually all labor laws designed to
protect workers have been flushed down the crapper. It's going to take
Obama years to restaff the NLRB staff and the lawyer-judges-arbitrators,
and changing procedures takes just as long. Many changes have to get the
OK of Congress for implementation. There are literally dozens of ways
employers can derail or delay union rep elections, and then, after the
elections, the employers can refuse to negotiate a contract and play the
stall game for years.
If I understand correctly it takes legislation to implement the card check
process. Why not legislation to speed up the belt?
I hate the idea of giving up the secret ballot.
As I said, there are a lot more problems than employers stalling
elections and scaring off their employees.
GM next?
