“That is deliberate misinformation as well. The holding of NLRB versus Town and Country Electric was very narrow. The Supreme Court held simply that paid union organizers can fall within the liberal statutory definition of ``employee'' contained in section 23 of the NLRA. Title I of the Fairness for Small Business and Employees Act does not change the definition of ``employee'' or ``employee applicant'' under the NLRA. It simply would change the NLRB's enforcement of section A by declaring that employers may refuse to hire individuals who are not at least half motivated to work for the employer. So long as even a paid union organizer is at least 50 percent motivated to work for the employer, he or she can not be refused a job in violation of section 8(A).
