Arrogance seems to be on parade this week!
Next up is the National Labor Relations Board general counsel and Obama appointee Richard Griffin who thinks he and the unions should be the final decision making body when a company considers relocating:
Richard Griffin, the new general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, wants to give unions a veto over a unionized employer’s decision to relocate. If Griffin has his way, and he most assuredly will, some unionized businesses will be pinned in place at the discretion of their unions.
The change Griffin is contemplating is unnecessary and inconsistent with both the law and the dynamics of our free-enterprise system. It will upset the balance mandated by the Supreme Court and should send a chill up the spine of unionized companies contemplating relocating an operation.
Griffin’s intent was disclosed in a memorandum he sent the agency’s regional directors ordering them not to act on cases presenting issues “of concern” to him — and there were many such issues — without receiving guidance from his office. Griffin’s guidance will be to order an employer to be prosecuted not on the basis of what the law is but on the law as Griffin would like it to be. This will give the board an opportunity to change the law (though the change will be prospective — the employer who is prosecuted will not be punished for violating the new rule).
See what the man at the top can do with his phone and his pen!
Its known as tyranny in educated circles, and it is entirely un-American, but this is the man who promised to fundamentally transform our country so we are not at all surprised. We do know a few people who should be thoroughly ashamed that they ever voted for him…you were warned!
