But the prima facie case, reading from their own language, the burden is placed on the NLRB. Now what is going to happen here is, my colleagues are bringing about a chilling effect on the right of people to organize. They are letting an employer guess intent and then make somebody prove that that employer is wrong. That is wrong. Already the deck is tilted in favor of the employer under the NLRA, as it has been interpreted in terms of captive audience provisions in terms of the right of people to express themselves on the floor of the shop. They cannot do that. And now they want to go one step further and try to chill the traditional American right to associate, to organize. They are wrong.
