Michigan Workers and Families Have Been Hurt
“If Michiganders can keep the momentum going this year, they may soon have their Right to Work law back.”
Hearing Witness Barbara Ivey, who received help with her petition for a secret-ballot election from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, is set to testify tomorrow.
Mrs. Ivey and her co-workers were scheduled to hold an election. SEIU had rammed-through card-check forced-unionism at her workplace; thirteen (13) days after being informed that SEIU was trying to organize her and her co-workers, Ivey was told that it was over and SEIU now represented her.
She was never offered a card, nor was she offered a secret-ballot election to vote on the union representing her.
Ivey collected enough signatures to demand a secret-ballot election under the “DANA Rights” NLRB option. The NLRB scheduled the secret-ballot vote. Before Barbara and her co-workers were allowed to vote, the Obama NLRB eliminated her right to a secret-ballot election and forced her and everyone else to be represented by SEIU.

The hearing is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. in room 2175 Rayburn H.O.B.

Under the Election Protection Rule issued by NLRB members appointed during the previous Trump Administration, mere allegations of employer misconduct could not block employees from having the decertification vote they requested.
The rabidly pro-union boss Biden era at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) came to a screeching halt on December 18.
