Many politicians in Congress have wasted taxpayer dollars by launching a full-scale attack on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the only means Americans have to protect themselves when their rights are violated on the job.
In 2011 alone, anti-worker legislators have attacked the NLRB and NLRA nearly 50 times. They've introduced 24 bills and amendments; approved one continuing resolution; held eight hearings; and tied up the agency with eight threatening letters, four official requests for documents, and one subpoena. Corporate-backed lawmakers have a clear endgame--to eliminate the rights and protections that ensure the 99 percent a fair shake in the workplace.
