Why Are Tax Funds Used For Union Organization?

The National Labor Relations Board (NLR) is using tax dollars to promote unions and help them organize.  Is this aa appropriate use of taxpayer funds?  Unions make up less than 20% of America’s labor force, but they do contribute hundreds od millions of dollars to the Democrats every election cycle.

Barack Obama has made several speeches where he said he wanted job creation to be his number one priority.  If the Obama really wanted to create jobs, he would listen to his economic advisors, like former National Economic Advisor Larry Summers, who wrote:

Another cause of long-term unemployment is unionization. High union wages that exceed the competitive market rate are likely to cause job losses in the unionized sector of the economy.

Does Obama realize that unions cause long-term unemployment? If his number one priority is job creation, one would think that he might consider sending a note over to the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board and tell them to stop trying to cripple companies. Especially since the NLRB has become the de-facto union organizing committee for union bosses and is intent on cramming unions down companies’ throats by any means necessary.

Since the national debt is so high and cutting spending is allegedly a priority, one could also expect that Obama would tell his union-controlled NLRB to stop spending tax-payers’ money to advertise for unions.

It’s time to defund the union organizing NLRB.  On Thursday, February 17th, the House of Representatives voted 176-250 against defunding the NLRB. Among those voting against defunding, 60 of them were Republicans. Hopefully the next time a vote to waste taxpayer dollars on the NLRB comes up, those GOP House members will think twice about funding an agency that is doing all it can to aid big union bosses while they continue stifling job creation.
