WASHINGTON, D.C. - The House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and
Pensions, and the Senate Employment and Workplace Safety Subcommittee will hold a
joint hearing to discuss recent decisions issued by the National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB).
The Bush majority on the NLRB has ruled on numerous cases throughout its term that
have rolled back long-established workers’ rights. In September alone, while handing
down 61 decisions, the NLRB overturned precedent and established new rules that make
it even more difficult for workers to organize and less costly for employers to break the
law and fire union supporters.
