Congresswoman Edwards Stands with NLRB Ruling Supporting Workers’ Rights

[Omaha Steve]

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) released the following statement today on the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) proposed rule change to regulations governing labor union representation:

“The NLRB’s proposed reforms simplify the process that protects a worker’s right to unionize, bringing us closer to achieving the aims of the National Labor Relations Act. Our workers deserve a fair shake when determining whether to form a union; a choice that is a fundamental American principle. I applaud the NLRB for initiating a process that will give middle-class workers the tools to negotiate their employment in a manner that is open and transparent.”

question is how much time is the employer going to have to threaten and intimidate his employees before the election is held?
