National Labor Relations Board Facing Congressional Heat over Secret Ballots | NetRight Daily

National Labor Relations Board Facing Congressional Heat over Secret Ballots NetRight Daily: "Congressman Jeff Duncan of South Carolina introduced legislation aimed at protecting worker’s right to a secret ballot union election this week by prohibiting the National Labor Relations Board from funding a lawsuit against states that protect secret ballot rights.
Duncan’s bill, H.R. 1047, which already has 27 co-sponsors, specifically says, “No agency of the Federal Government may bring any challenge against a State statute or constitutional provision which protects the right of employees to choose labor organization representatives through secret ballot elections.’
The bill is in response to threats made by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to lead a lawsuit against the states of Utah, South Carolina, Arizona and South Dakota, states where voters have protected their citizens right to secret ballot elections in their state constitution."
