NLRB says employers have less time to express views on unionization…so what are they waiting for?

Quick, get the file, we have to talk to employees

Employers and their associations are bent out of shape over a new NLRB ruling that greatly shortens the time an employer has to respond to an organizing drive and make it’s case for employees not to unionize. Opponents say this political move by the NLRB “eviscerates an employer’s legitimate opportunity to express its views about collective bargaining .”

Really now, and exactly what prevents an employer from making its case in deeds and actions every day it is in business? An employer that must go into defensive mode with enhanced communications upon learning of a unionization drive is…stupid.

An employer with a work environment that provides fair and competitive compensation, that treats workers with respect and consideration and continuously is open and honest in its communications has little need to be concerned there is too little time to respond to union efforts.
