Unionization by Regulation by Russ Brown

by | Apr 1, 2011 | Media

This week the American Spectator features an article by LRI Vice-president Russ Brown that challenges the Obama Administration’s use of a regulatory agency to rewrite the Railway Labor Act in favor of unions. Brown, also an analyst for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, makes a compelling argument for returning to the RLA standard, including the fact the the Mediation Board changed the rules for union representation votes while conveniently maintaining the more stringent standard for decertifying a union in the transportion industry. Last year the National Mediation Board ruled that a minority of employees can impose their will for unionization on a majority of their coworkers overturning the 75 year precedent set by the RLA. The FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act moving through the House this week would restore the RLA voting precedent under which a majority of the bargaining unit must vote for unionization.
