Don't Miss Your Chance to Comment on NLRB's Proposed Rule Change

Dear Patricia,

The National Labor Relations Board is proposing to change the rules for holding union representation elections. While the NLRB claims the new rules will improve the election process, these changes will actually force “ambush” elections on employers in as little as 10 days, without giving employers an opportunity to educate workers on the implications of forming a union. This rule change threatens jobs and workplace harmony.

Members of the SEIU in their comments said: “any step to improve the election process for working people trying to form a union is welcome,” and members of the AFL-CIO similarly said they “welcome your rule to improve the process for working people trying to form unions.”

But ambushing companies and workers with elections before they understand the stakes is not an improvement to an already well-functioning process.

The NLRB is accepting reply comments through Tuesday, September 6th.

Americans for Prosperity Foundation wants to make it as easy as possible for you to place reply comments on the record to answer the unions demand for these “quickie union elections” intended to increase a union’s likelihood of success and force workers into unions without the benefit of understanding the high stakes in a representation election.
