Lateefah Simon: “Just to respond by saying when you say it needs clarification, the reality is we have had clarification. For example…”

On the recordJuly 9, 1996
Just to respond by saying when you say it needs clarification, the reality is we have had clarification. For example, California has had 29,000-and-some cases brought before the NLRB. They have had two cases before the NLRB which said you have a problem here in creating a company union through management. And then they did not fine anyone. They just sent it back to them and said restructure it. The State of Illinois with 12 million people--I do not know how many cases; I forget; just one case nationally. We have only had half a dozen. I really do not think there needs to be the clarification that my friend and colleague from Kansas suggests is needed.
