Conservatives seem to hate anything that gives workers power to hold employers accountable for bad behavior. They have always hated labor unions and over the last 25 years wadged a war against labor unions and for the most part they have won that war. Thay have accused unions of driving up wages and the cost of living. Some of that I agree with. Greed has corrupted labot as much as business. I say you need collective bargening when wages are going down just as much as when they are going up and someone has to stand up for workers.
Now the GOP is going after the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). They have filibustered every nomination both conservative and liberal to fill the leadership post in the NLRB. This is cowarldy because they know they would lose the debate to shut the NLRB down so they use the cowardly act of abusing the filibuster to get their unpopular way. What a bunch of right wing hacks.
So what is it the right wing really wants? For workers to have no rights at all other than to quit your job? Thats what it looks like to me. They seem to want to go back to the days when the robber barons could do anything they wanted to their workers. We all know the GOP has been lap dogs for big business since the industrial revolution started but this new breed of conservatives seems to want to return this country to the bad old days of no anti trust laws and workers being basically slaves. Am I wrong?
What is wanted, as with all judicial appointments, is folks that will simply uphold the law as written; people that have no known agenda or have not shown bias in the past. The NRLB is essentially a court to help settle labor disputes between unions and certain employers using union labor. A two term president can replace the entire 5 member board, as each member serves a 5-year term, with one member's term expiring every year and the General Council which serves a 4-year term.
You did not answer my queston my friend. Why is the GOP filibustering everyone the president appionts to the leadership of the NLRB? Is it because they hate the NLRB? You do not have to be a union member to have the NLRB look at your case. In fact the NLRB is to help those who do not have union representation. I guess the GOP thinks the boss should have all the power right or wrong.
Probably because 0bama has a track record of appointees who are crooks, cheats, retards, scandalous, or useless.

Conservatives want money. Big business pays for their election campaigns, and in return, conservatives push a "pro-business" agenda. Propaganda is used to convince the conservative base that this is the right thing to do. Consumer rights and employee rights have gone out the window, and are continuing to do so as the Republican party overwhelms the judicial and legislative system with shills that will do their bidding. The big question is why so many people would fall for this game. The Republican base needs to take a look at who and what they're really supporting. By getting rid of oversight and regulations, they're selling us all to corporations.
I never said there were no crooked Republicans. I meant that, for your God-President, "crooked" seems to be a requirement on the job resume.BS my friend. What about the Govenor of Virginia? Is he a honest conservative?
So it was perfectly acceptable for those Americans to die? Oh wait....of course it was...it was on the God-President's watch.Oh by the way Bengahzi was a nothing and you know it. Stop acting stupid.
Unions had their place at one point in history. Right now they're nothing more than a hive of ignorance, run by crooked bosses. They're NO WORSE than the corporations they "work" for (if you want to call it that, because they seem to only "work" as little as possible).Oh by the way What is wrong with being a union shrill. If it was not for unions you would not have a 40 hour work week,sick leave,vacation or any other work place right you have. Pull your head.

To the contrary, we want individual workers to have rights and not be forced to conform to union leadership.

P.S. I'm not your friend. My friends have intelligence.
And remember...1) Those pensions are for the life of the worker, and 2) the unions don't care whether or not companies/cities can afford them. It's gimme gimme gimme.I agree unions have been corupted by greed just like business has. It was stupid for unions to ask for pensions that are more that the wadges the worker made.
Unions are nothing but oligarchies in of themselves. The union bosses use the workers as pawns to push their agendas. The workers are just simple sheep who are brainwashed by those union bosses, into just playing along with whatever is told to them. Jump off a bridge? Yessir.The NLRB was designed to fill that gap left by shrinking unions and the conservatives have turned on them also. I guess they want the boss to have all the power.

No it specifically has to do with the person he's chosen.
He keeps making horrible choices, choqing leftist hacks with a destructive agenda. Of-course the GOP is going to oppose them.
Haven't the Unions done enough damage ?
