Update on the Senate's NLRB Vote

Wed, 05/02/2012 - 15:07

Last week we asked you to reach out to Alaska's US Senators for help on SJR 36 - an attempt to overthrow the National Labor Relations Board new rules on a quick union election.

Due to the Senate rejecting the bill, workers can quickly have an election on whether they want to have a union or not. Under the old rules, a business could drag out the process for quite a while, using that time to distort the facts about joining a union.

We want to thank Senator Lisa Murkowski and Senator Mark Begich for voting NO on this bill!
