http://www.workinglife.org/blogs/view_post.php?content_id=15059 Letting people know their rights--that is a very bad thing in America. Just ask those people who wrote the Constitution, who rebelled against a King. Well, today, the King sitting on the throne is corporate America--the folks who can write massive checks to buy politicians thanks to Citizen United.
And the King today does not want anyone to know their rights to unionize:
The National Labor Relations Board said on Tuesday that it would require companies to post notices on their bulletin boards — and perhaps send out e-mail— to inform employees of their right to unionize under federal law.
A day earlier, the labor board’s acting general counsel said that he would push for stronger action to create a fair atmosphere for unionization drives, perhaps by letting unions post materials on a company’s bulletin board if a company was found to have committed serious violations during such a drive.
...“These actions are consistent with a general ramp-up of enforcement against employers we are seeing across the board,” said Randel K. Johnson, senior vice president for labor policy at the United States Chamber of Commerce.
Oh, yeah, it is really an assault on the King's rights to post a notice on a bulletin board.
