Once a collective bargaining unit has been formed through the coercion and bullying of employees, a small business has a matter of months to agree to union boss demands or the government sends in a bureaucrat and a contract is forced on the employees and employer alike without their consent. Neither the workers nor the small business owners can appeal the contract terms, which include changes to wages, benefits and workplace conditions.
Having been unable to secure EFCA, Big Labor has taken to furthering their anti-jobs agenda through the executive branch, including the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and National Mediation Board (NMB). This latest attempt from the UAW to take matters into their own hands and force companies bringing jobs into the country to immediately and forcibly unionize demonstrates labor bosses are growing desperate, yet still wetted to their job-killing agenda.
At a time when Americans need more and better jobs, small businesses must have the freedoms to grow and thrive in their communities. The Big Labor agenda is simply not the answer. And the UAW’s attempt to pass the blame on their own mismanagement and incompetence to others by trying to impose unionization on businesses would only cost us more jobs and stymie our economy’s ability to recover.
