Big Labor's "Plan B"

Top union bosses like the AFL-CIO's Rich Trumka continue to demand power grabs from their allies in Congress in a special "lame-duck" session later this month.

But Big Labor's "Plan B" for more government-granted special privileges may be even more dangerous.

You see, union bigwigs still want payback for unleashing their forced-dues political machine to put Barack Obama in the White House.

And what they can't ram through Congress, they're asking President Obama to quietly sneak through administratively, hoping the American people won't notice.

But National Right to Work Foundation attorneys are prepared to fight back.

In fact, just this week, Foundation attorneys filed legal briefs urging the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to uphold a landmark Foundation-won decision intended to counteract the intimidation waged by aggressive union operatives during card check organizing campaigns.

Union lawyers seek to deny workers access to a secret ballot vote after they have been swept into union ranks through the abusive card check organizing process.

Foundation attorneys have also renewed their request that Member Craig Becker recuse himself from the case because he co-authored a union brief in the original case in 2007.

Earlier this year, a bipartisan vote stalled Becker's nomination in part because he believes that the NLRB should ignore Congress and make massive changes to federal labor law by fiat.

And now he's in position to do just that.

Becker has even already used his time on the Board to suggest that union bosses face too many federal financial disclosure requirements...

...even though a whopping 72 percent of rank-and-file union members think union bosses should be held more accountable to workers, according to our new poll.

In its first two years, the Obama Administration has gutted the budget of the DOL agency tasked with policing union corruption and imposed new rules to keep workers for federal contractors in the dark about their right to refrain from union membership.

Now that the union bosses are more desperate than ever for hidden paybacks, what could be next?

If you can, please chip in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more to help Foundation attorneys combat a likely bureaucratic assault on employee freedom.

Sincerely,
