Reading the tea leaves, the Boston Herald editorial staff see the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) institutionalizing card-check and by-passing congress. Primarily based on the NLRB’s actions in the Boeing case and its new election…
Former murdered Mineworkers International presidential candidate “Jock” Yoblonski’s campaign manager and Weekly Standard Executive Editor Fred Barnes reminds us that Obama has created more Big Labor Boss paybacks than just the NLRB v. Boeing case. Besides the Obama National Labor Relations Board’s assault on Boeing’s South Carolina employees and workers in Right To Work states in general, Barnes mentions the recent new regulations proposed by DOL to hamper employees getting to hear both sides of the story during union organizing campaigns. But, the main focus of the article is the Obama Administration’s repeated attempts to overturn multiple defeats of unions to organize DELTA airlines. If you want to get more outraged at the Obama administration for its continuous assaults on free enterprise and individual employee choices, then read Barnes’ America’s Labor Party, Is there anything Obama won’t do for unions? Here are a few quotes to whet your appetite: How far will President Obama go to advance the interests of organized labor? Awfully far. We know this not only from the effort to keep Boeing from building a plane in a right-to-work state, South Carolina, but also from the way Delta Airlines is being railroaded into recognizing unions its employees have repeatedly rejected.

Well-known wealth distributionist Andy Stern has distributed some of that wealth into his own pockets. Capitalizing on his forced-unionism position of prominence and his union's political power gained through forced union dues, Stern join a corporate board of a bio-warfare company that gave him a sweetheart deal on stocks that will likely give him more money overnight that his lifetime of union-boss salaries combined. Worse than Stern using his position of power gained through forced unionism to join the SIGA board, Stern used his forced-dues-financed political power and access to Obama to bring a $2.8 billion no-bid contract to SIGA that helped pump up the value of his newly acquired stock options at SIGA. The House Oversight Committee (Chairman Darrell Issa) is currently looking into this backroom insider deal that smells like the kind of deals that Obama promised to end on his first full day in office.

Talk about being on a limb — even President Obama’s pick for Secretary of Commerce opposes the National Labor Relations Board attempt to punish Boeing for opening a facility in a Right to Work state. From the Washington Post: Republicans…
In the dark of the night, Big Labor puppets at the National Labor Relations Board passed new rules to force "quickie" labor elections without many people even knowing they were considering the provision in the first place. The lone Republican on the Board blasted the majority for skipping critical steps that would have alerted the public that they were even considering such a move. The Investor Business Daily's Sean Higgins weighs in: Lost in the clamor over Tuesday’s proposed National Labor Relations Board rules for labor elections was how surprising the action was in the first place. The NLRB was not reacting to any legislation or court ruling. It simply decided to come up with new rules on its own. Nobody outside the NLRB itself even knew about them until they were leaked to the AP Tuesday morning. That was apparently deliberate. In his official dissent, the NLRB’s lone Republican appointee, Brian Hayes, claimed that the board’s majority skipped numerous steps that would have alerted the public to what it was considering.
Let’s look at the facts. Michigan is one of the worst states in the country for job creation — an economic basket case. No controversy there. Cities like Detroit are on the verge on bankruptcy because of government workers…
