: “This is the agency that is supposed to be protecting employee rights. And instead of protecting employee rights they are violating the law themselves."

Eric Brooks, President of the National Labor Relations Board union. The Bush National Labor relations Board is guilty of violating federal labor law for refusing to bargain with the union. That's according to a Federal Labor Relations Authority judge. The NLRB is illegally refusing to bargain with a consolidated union bargaining unit representing a thousand NLRB workers. The NLRB is supposed to uphold the rights of workers to collectively bargain, but instead is violating it’s own workers labor rights. Brooks says if NLRB General Counsel Ronald Meisburg can't obey labor law as he’s sworn to do or hit the road.

: “If the agency won't honor the law in the public sector, can the employees in the private sector that are under the NLRB's jurisdiction count on the NLRB to enforce the law and protect their own rights? We think it's time that the General Counsel either start to obey the law - or if he can' t do that - he should resign."

Workers at the National Labor Relations Board are barred from striking but they’re using informational pickets and all legal means available to force the Bush NLRB to obey labor law and the labor rights of its own employees.

2. A 5th "R" from me. There will be rallies around the Country against the NLRB

on November 15, including one in Washington. Go to the AFL-CIO website, page

http://blog.aflcio.org/2007/11/09/workers-set-to-protest-bush-labor-boards-anti-worker-rulings/

to see if there is one in your area. (OS, I realize you are no doubt aware of the protests, but in case others are interested)

3. Not surprising indeed as this merry band of fascists feel they are your

bosses and not subject to laws in their opinions. In fact they look down upon those that labor as just greedy lazy bums that they claim protest hard work. How dare these slaves speakout against their masters? I remember Reagan and what he did to those that had the tough jobs of being air traffic controllers while saying at the same time "what homeless people?". Hypocrisy=monarchy gone mad?
