George Bush is the most anti-worker president in decades and this is the most anti-worker, anti-collective bargaining NLRB in its 71-year history. It’s time to stop them.
The week of actions focused on a series of cases now before the NLRB known as “Kentucky River,” in which the NLRB soon will decide whether many nurses, building and construction trades workers, journalists and others should be classified as “supervisors.” If the NLRB expands the definition of supervisor to include such workers, an estimated 8 million workers no longer will have the federally protected right to form a union.
The AFL-CIO and a group of 30 labor law professors filed separate motions yesterday to have the NLRB reconsider its refusal to hold oral arguments. “These cases may radically shift the line between labor and management, not only in the healthcare industry, but in virtually every industry and occupation,” the legal scholars said in a letter to the NLRB. “These cases deserve oral argument.”
