Republican congressmen in Washington DC, oblivious to the resounding defeat of SB5 in Ohio, are busy waging war on the unions with a new bill "H.R. 3094, the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act". This bill is clearly mislabeled, what it should be called is:" HR 3094, Keeping Employees From Joining Unions Forever". The bill was sponsored by far right republican John Kline of Mn. The bill is endorsed, of course, by the US Chamber of Commerce. The US Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter recommending the passage of H.R. 3094:
Since efforts in previous Congresses to pass the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) have"Job killing policy initiatives", sounds like Speaker John Boehner wrote this letter for the Chamber of Commerce. They go on to state that:
failed, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board) has been working to enact similarly radical changes to America’s labor laws through the administrative process. While the Board’s outrageous complaint against the Boeing Company has rightfully garnered many headlines, other actions by the Board threaten to dramatically tilt the labor-relations landscape in favor of organized labor at the expense of job creators and employees
The Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act would amend the National Labor Relations Act
in order to prevent the Board from enacting two of these job killing policy initiatives...
Simply put, the modest changes that would be provided by H.R. 3094 would restore the legal status quo that existed prior to the Board’s radical policy shift.
