The NLRB, under the influence of union bosses, on Tuesday acted again to restrict workers' rights. The NLRB proposed new rules that would speed up elections for unionization. In doing so, unions would force workers into union memberships before fully considering both the advantages and disadvantages of membership. By implementing a shorter voting period, U.S. Chamber Vice President Randy Johnson has revealed this is a cleverly disguised mandate to pressure workers into joining a union without making an informed decision. Moreover, the NLRB wants to delay litigation over many voter eligibility issues. As Chairman John Kline stated, ``Big Labor has found faithful friends on the Obama NLRB.'' The job-killing influence of unions over the NLRB must be stopped before it tramples the rights of American workers, killing jobs at Boeing in South Carolina, and now killing jobs across America. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
