NLRB delivers body blow to labor
October 4th, 2006
The Bush National Labor Relations Board dealt a body blow to workers by “deciding” that workers who’se employers call them “supervisers” are not entitled to unionize. Thus, thousands of nurses have just been denied their union protections. The decision may end up affecting millions of workers. This is a two-for-one for the Bush Republicans: they get to destroy unions that tend to fund democrats. At the same time hey can pay back the plutocrats who fund them.
For another perspective on this decision and its esential logic, see Colbert on the meaning of Solidarity:
