Miller & Martin attorneys Joseph McCoin and Larry Bridgesmith say the core idea behind the Employee Free Choice Act now before Congress would open the door for unions to “use illegal tactics that drag one business into another unrelated business’ labor troubles.”

Organized labor and its cadre of commentators have repeatedly made claims about the ineffectiveness of the NLRB’s remedial provisions in deterring employer misconduct. It would take a healthy dose of hypocrisy or Pollyannaism for these same voices to suggest that weakening the remedial provisions that apply to organized labor would not also promote misconduct.
