The effective date of the NLRB rule requiring
private employers
to post a
“Unionization Rights” Notice
was set to be

April 30, 2012.

But conflicting decisions at the district court level has temporarily enjoined the NLRB’s rule. As such, this requirement will not take effect until the legal issues are resolved. As oral argument is set for September 2012, a new deadline is unlikely until at least fall 2012.

Stay tuned here for the latest updates on this important issue.

Don’t Let Them Fool You! What’s REALLY Behind the War on Unions

They say their financial woes are because unions are too extravagant with their wages, pensions and benefits. But don’t let them fool you!

This “we’re broke” theme being used by anti-worker governors and legislatures across America is built purely on rhetoric that is being force-fed to the public to disguise the fact that what they’re really trying to do is make sure that unions don’t have a voice anymore. All across America, the largest assault on workers’ rights is being fueled by a well-funded network of conservative front groups that you’ve probably never even heard of and exist for one thing alone - to derail unions.

Union busting is a dirty business, a billion-dollar industry sympathetic to corporate interests that has been around for decades, centuries even. And with politics in the United States being what it is, a game played on multiple levels, what we really have here is a renewed Republican fight to not necessarily advance the party’s agenda but to actively undermine the infrastructure that allows the opposing party to even exist at all. I know, pretty scary!

But what this current anti-labor conservative movement didn’t count on was the absolute resolve and tenacity we unions have. You saw rallies occur all across America, heck, still going on even. And poll after poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose taking away some of the collective bargaining rights that public employees unions now have and almost as many oppose cutting the pay or benefits of those workers.

Such a backlash has occurred that the effect has actually boosted working America and union support. And FPD will continue its own fight against an anti-labor legislature right here in Florida. In fact, labor won big here as efforts failed to cripple public service workers’ dues deduction ability. So, know this - we will not let up on the pressure. As legislators head home for the summer, we will continue to make sure they know that we know that while they say it’s our fault they’re “broke,” we know they’re just really trying to get rid of us all together. And that just ain’t happening!
