How Bush Labor Board Appointees Robbed Millions of Workers of Their Basic Rights - LaborTalk By Harry Kelber
The pro-Bush NLRB will be considering three cases, known collectively as 'Kentucky River,' in which its decision can exclude as many as eight million workers from the protection of a union if they can be classified as supervisors.
The Board's definition of 'supervisor' can embrace any individual who assigns or 'responsibly directs' employees using independent judgment. That could include tens of thousands of teachers, nurses, construction workers and workers in other occupations.
The Board has refused to hold hearings on the three cases, thereby giving its members a free hand to apply their anti-union biases. An unfavorable Board ruling could cripple union organizing for years to come.------------------------------------------- posted 6:29 AM :: reference link ::
