Will Team Biden Weaponize Workers’ Pensions?
Big Labor abuse of worker pension and benefit funds as a means of advancing union bosses’ self-aggrandizing policy objectives is a familiar phenomenon.
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.

What impact does handing a union monopoly power to deal with your employer on matters concerning your pay, benefits, and work rules have on your pay?
The Foundation’s brief before the High Court in Starbucks v. McKinney discusses how NLRB officials use this radical assumption to urge federal courts to hit employers with “10(j) injunctions” that coerce the employers to give into certain union-demanded behavior.
