Scott Walker’s recent victory in Wisconsin proves that Americans are starting to question union control of the workplace. But the struggle against Big Labor is just starting.
President Obama stacked the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the independent agency charged with mediating union elections and enforcing labor laws, with former union cronies from the Service Employees International Union. Instead of protecting workers and enforcing fair elections, the NLRB is doing exactly the opposite.
This is a major blow to employers and the employees exercising their choice not to join a union. Thankfully, Congress is considering the Employee Rights Act, which will put a check on the power of labor unions.
Take action today and urge your representatives in Congress to support the Employee Rights Act and put the power back in the hands of employees—not union bosses.
The Employee Rights Act will give workers the choice of whether their dues money should go toward political purposes that they don’t support. The Employee Rights Act will also protect the secret ballot instead of allowing “card check” style elections where employees can be coerced.
When politics get in the way and unions are given unchecked power, it hurts workers’ rights and businesses’ bottom lines. It’s time to stop big labor bosses from hurting employees.
Take action today and urge your representatives in Congress to support the Employee Rights Act and put the power back in the hands of employees—not union bosses.
Sincerely,

MEMO: Obama ‘Recess’ appointments Unwarranted, Unnecessary and Unconstitutional
On January 4, President Obama purported to appoint three individuals to be members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) (two of whom were only nominated two weeks before and had not even completed the necessary questionnaire required by Senate) and one person to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). All of these positions require confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
ISSUE-IN-BRIEF: The Constitution allows the President to make “recess Appointments—bypassing the Senate under only one circumstance: “The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate.” But the Senate did not adjourn its session and still had officers to receive nominations from the President. Again, the Constitution is very clear on this point: “Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days.” In December the House did not consent to the Senate taking a recess.
There are three objections to what are basically illegal appointments by President Obama:

Obama’s Labor Board Accused of ‘Malicious Attack’ on Right-to-Work States
Thursday, May 05, 2011
By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - A political battle is brewing over the Obama administration's National Labor Relations Board for its "attack" on right-to-work states.
On Wednesday, 19 Republican senators wrote to President Obama, warning him that they will "vigorously oppose" two of his nominees to the National Labor Relations Board -- if Obama doesn't withdraw their names.
