Biden Labor Board Blocks Construction Workers From Union Exodus

WFB:

Workers unanimously opted out of carpenters’ union.

The Biden administration is blocking the exits for construction workers who unanimously voted to cut ties with their union.

The National Labor Relations Board refused to allow a group of Indiana workers to hold a vote that would decertify their representation with the local carpenters’ union despite the group’s unanimous support for cutting ties. The group ofworkers submitted the request to the regional NLRB, which blocked the attempt to decertify.

The board’s lawyers allege that the workers are engaging in “bad faith” bargaining, according to the case filing. Indiana is a right-to-work state, meaning the state allows employees to work without requiring union membership, but the board is blocking the vote under federal law on the grounds of bad faith bargaining.

The carpenters’ union did not respond to a request for comment.

The conflict comes as President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats signal their readiness to take executive and legislative action to empower labor unions. Biden has already overhauled the leadership of the NLRB with the unprecedented removal of the board’s general counsel, and House Democrats are expected to vote on the PRO Act, a drastic labor reform bill. read more

  1. Labor relations has come full circle…it’s not the boss that controls the jobs\work, nor the actual workers, but rather the theorists that are paid to represent the workers. It’s kind of like the old adage of “those who can’t, teach”

    Reminds me of the typical politicians who know just enough to know that somebody needs to be held accountable as long as it’s not them. And that attitude wins votes. Biden’s been doing it for years and never got held accountable. Now the union “leaders” are being held accountable and and want the government and the courts to protect them.

    After all the workers and voters are too dumb to catch on.

  2. The POS who never did an honest days work in his life thinks he has the right to run and ruin other people’s lives.
    Bernie Sanders fits that category too.

  3. ” …. this administration is the point of the spear.”

    More like halfway down the shaft, we got the point back in the Clinton administration.

    There is no recovery from this, it’s over for us.

  4. After my stint as a mortician’s assistant in high school, I opted out of that(learned a bunch, though). I became an apprentice electrician(union). 30 years later, I am still an electrician, master, in fact. But once I got my journeyman card, I left for one reason. Getting your mail a few weeks before any election & them basically demanding that you vote Democrat. That got old very quick, because I knew where my dues were going.
