EMPLOYEE VICTIMS OF TOP-DOWN ORGANIZING AND NLRB’S
GENERAL COUNSEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED TO TESTIFY
BEFORE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE

Washington, D.C. (April 22, 2004) -- Mark Mix,
president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense
Foundation, a national workplace rights advocacy
group, issued the following statement regarding
today’s House Subcommittee on Employer-Employee
Relations hearing titled "Developments in Labor Law:
Examining Trends and Tactics in Labor Organization
Campaigns":
"Unable to persuade employees to support unionization
voluntarily, union organizers now frequently use what
amounts to economic blackmail to pressure companies to
sign backroom ‘neutrality agreements’ which hand a
company’s employees over to compulsory unionism --
contrary to employees’ wishes.
"These often coerced deals strip workers of the
opportunity to vote in a secret ballot election, grant
union operatives sweeping access to the workplace (as
well as employees’ confidential personal information),
and enable union organizers to make unwelcome
home-visits and use other pressure tactics to elicit
signatures on union authorization cards. Employees
are also often subjected to mandatory ‘captive
audience’ speeches threatening possible job loss and
other retaliation if they fail to sign the cards.
"Despite more than a dozen formal allegations of abuse
by workers across the country challenging the validity
and implementation of these coercive agreements, the
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) bureaucracy has
so far failed to take action.
"NLRB General Counsel Arthur Rosenfeld has the power
to ameliorate this problem by issuing complaints, but
regrettably, he has not been called to testify today.
Without immediate action by the NLRB, American workers
stand to lose what few rights they currently enjoy
under federal labor law to determine their own union
status.
"While we certainly welcome any effort to bring
attention to this important issue, Congress should
hold additional hearings that lay bare the ugly
realities of top-down organizing, call Mr. Rosenfeld
to explain the NLRB’s refusal to act, and receive
testimony from several of the countless thousands of
rank-and-file employees who have had their rights
trampled upon by top-down organizing tactics."

The NLRB acted correctly when they heard the un-convincing arguements
offered by the anti-worker group known as NRTW. It became very clear
that the complaints were from a handful of malcontents who were
tricked into filing against their own interests.
As it has often been said, "A worker siding with NRTW is like a
chicken siding with Colonel Sanders". So true.

The left just caint argue w/o flawed logic. (Samples courtesy of
"tmurph<at>"peoplepc.com in his reply to the original post.)
Ad lapidem: dismissing a statement as absurd or false without demonstrating
it to be such. Example:
The NLRB acted correctly when they heard the un-convincing arguements
offered by the anti-worker group known as NRTW. It became very clear
that the complaints were from a handful of malcontents who were
tricked into filing against their own interests.
Fallacy of repetition (argumentum ad nauseam): an assertion is considered
more likely to be true the more often it is stated. Example:
As it has often been said, "A worker siding with NRTW is like a
chicken siding with Colonel Sanders". So true.
