The Obama Administration has appointed several well-connected labor union folks to the FLBA Federal Labor Relations Board Authority, and summarily fired the former Bush Administration appointees to that group.
This shifts the balance even further towards labor and away from corporations.
I am not sure if you have read Ayn Rand or not, perhaps, you should.
Suffice it to say this is not a good move for America's economic vitality or ability to compete in global markets.
Stacking the deck with "pro-union" appointees is problematic for free-market capitalism.
I hope everyone is aware of this.
A company has no reason to discharge good employees that are efficient and productive.
If a union causes too many problems for a company, the company will become unviable and insolvent at some point.
At which point; we bail them out with taxpayer's money? Smooth plan indeed! What we should realize here is that Labor Unions already have too much power, and to back them up the courts and lawyers are there ready to serve their will.
Along with the politicians who realize to win in a number of the states must have union support, and assistance with their massive man power.
What a lot of folks do not understand is that if unions gain the upper hand, companies will be slow to open new factories, plants, locations, or expand as we recover from the recession.
This means fewer jobs and more hardships for unemployed workers as state unemployment benefits run dry.
While the FLBA or Federal Labor Relations Authority sure comes in handy when solving disputes, putting up pro-labor appointees sends a very deafening message to large corporate employers, and quite frankly, that could very well be the wrong message.
Please consider this.
