Take Action Today: Condemn the Bush Labor Board
Take Action Link
Franklin Roosevelt spent his life fighting for working people. And one of the cornerstones of his legacy is the National Labor Relations Board — an agency created specifically to defend workers from abuse on the job.
But George W. Bush has packed the Board with his cronies, and the result is tragic: a Labor Board that serves corporate bigwigs at the expense of workers.
Join me in condemning the Bush Labor Board and demanding that it return to its original mission: protecting workers!

By now, the story is all too familiar: an agency originally set up to protect the people is perverted by George W. Bush into a source of cushy jobs for his cronies and a mechanism for supporting corporate interests above all others.
It’s especially tragic to see this happen to the National Labor Relations Board — an agency specifically created to help working people resist abuse on the job.
If there was any doubt about what kind of Board Bush created, it was erased in September when the Bush Board issued a flood of anti-worker decisions.
Why the rush? Because the terms of two conservative members of the Board are about to expire — and with them Bush’s power to force through anti-worker decisions with a 3-2 vote.
The result: an unprecedented rush of decisions that use bizarre logic to prop up corporate interests at every turn. (I’ve posted some of the worst examples on the CtW Connect blog.)
We believe it’s time for the National Labor Relations Board to stop serving corporations and get back to its original mission: protecting workers. That’s why we’re condemning the Bush Labor Board and laying out a plan for change.
Sign our condemnation petition and help us show the National Labor Relations Board that the time for change is now!
