The National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency that was allegedly established to protect workers from abuse from both employers and unions has ruled unions can LIE to their members.
Unfortunately, it seems that the NLRB has now become a mere tool of union bosses (see post here).
On May 29th, the union-controlled NRLB gave an unabashed green light for union bosses to go-ahead and lie to their members. In an Advice Memorandum (download PDF here), the Office of the General Counsel stated:
We conclude that the Union did not violate either Section 8(b)(3) or 8(b)(1)(A) by misstating the Employer’s final contract proposal at the ratification meeting because that vote was wholly an internal union matter, nor did it violate Section 8(b)(3) by failing to execute the proposed final agreement because the contract proposed by the Employer differed from the contract ratified by the employees. [Emphasis added.]
Left as a stand alone, this is alarming for union members and potential union members. In light of the potential of the delusionally-dubbed Employee Free Choice Act, this NLRB ruling is appalling!
