GOP Plots Offensive on Labor
GOP lawmakers are planning to attack the National Labor Relations Board if they take back the Senate this fall.
With majorities in the House and Senate, Republicans say they would push back against NLRB rules that have made it easier for unions to speed up their elections and organize multiple departments within a single company, among other things.
Republicans are making their stance clear in advance of the midterm elections, hoping it will help draw out the GOP base.
And Sen. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), the top Republican on the Senate Labor Committee, is using the issue as part of his campaign theme ahead of his Thursday primary.
