Preventing Greater Uncertainity in Labor-Management Relations Act

Apr. 12, 2013 | H.R. 1120

Congressional Republicans have engaged in a years-long battle to cripple the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), including blocking NLRB nominations, legislation to de-fund the board, and curtail its work. H.R. 1120 would effectively shut down the NLRB and needlessly place the rights of millions of American workers in jeopardy. The NLRB is the one agency workers whose rights have been violated can turn to for relief. The NLRB remedies unfair labor practices and defends the right of employees to join a union and bargain collectively with their employers. Shutting the NLRB down would leave employees with no place to go to ensure their rights under the law are enforced. The bill passed.
