National Right to Work FOIA’s Obama’s labor board over Google advertisements
Washington Examiner Online, 4/07/2011
There is no escaping the pro-union tone included as part of
some of the advertising material the White House appointed labor attorneys have
placed on Google.
That should be a no go for anyone serving on the National
Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which is responsible for investigating allegations
of unfair labor practices. However, it has been evident for some time the NLRB
is now out to do the bidding of union bosses who are now working to reshape
public policy without congressional consent.
Fortunately, the National Right to Work Legal Foundation
has stepped in to call out the NLRB with a Freedom of Information Action (FOIA)
request that seeks all documented business transactions between the Board and
Google related to online ad buys beginning in 2008.
NEW: Card Check Blazing Through Assembly
California Watchdog Online, 4/07/2011
With a sucker punch from the Assembly Speaker’s office, the
public notice rule for legislative hearings was suspended on Wednesday. That
allowed an Assembly committee to push through a quick hearing about Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg’s card check bill.
Opposition to SB 104 came from the Agricultural Council of
California, the Wine Institute, the California Independent Grocers Association,
the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Hotel and Lodging Association
and the National Right to Work Committee.
Committee analysis states that opponents believe that
majority choice elections are not real elections, are fundamentally
undemocratic, open workers up to intimidation from unions in their homes and
deprive farm workers of a proper debate regarding the pros and cons of union
representation. Opponents also state that the provisions for increased civil
penalties are excessive, possibly unconstitutional and an undue burden on
business.
