Hope? Change? Transparency?
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.
