Will Senate Vote to Gag Right to Work Allies?
If he is still majority leader in 2025, Chuck Schumer could, with help from cohorts like Tammy Baldwin, Jon Tester, and Jacky Rosen deploy the “nuclear option” against Right to Work.
The National Right to Work has filed suit against the unconstitutional appointment by President Obama of members of National Labor Relations Board but that is not the only suit pending.
The Wall Street Journal reports, “the legality of the appointments is being challenged in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, where lawyers for the housing complex owner are challenging an injunction sought by the NLRB to end a lockout of members of the Service Employees International Union following a pay dispute. NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon filed for the injunction last week, after the current board members authorized him to do so….The first legal challenge to Mr. Obama’s recess appointments came last month, when three groups—the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the National Right to Work Foundation and the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace—asked a judge to rule on whether the appointments to the NLRB violate the U.S. Constitution.”
President Obama violated the constitution precedent when he made “recess” appointments to the NLRB while Congress was in session. It is imperative that the courts stand up to this power grab and we are working to ensure that happens.
