Rounds Statement on NLRB’s “Ambush Election” Rule
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today supported a Joint Resolution of Disapproval, which he cosponsored, against the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) recent rule on “ambush elections,” The rule is scheduled to take effect on April 14, 2015.
“With this rule, the NLRB isn’t looking out for workers or employers—it’s looking to protect big unions,” said Rounds. “By dramatically cutting the time between a union petition to a representation election, it not only limits the rights of employers, it pushes employees to make a hurried decision about organizing. Three unelected bureaucrats never should have made this decision in the first place.”
In December 2014, the NLRB issued a final rule making drastic changes to union representation election procedures, known as “ambush elections.” The rule makes an end run around employers by cutting the time between a union petition and a representation election from approximately 38 days to as few as 11. Additionally, it would require employers to give unions personal information about employees, including personal cell phone numbers and personal email addresses.

Hey mike are you a puppet of the chamber.
Are you a puppet of the unions? I would guess so as you seem to embrace socialism.
Please use the term socialism properly. Or do you even know the definition of the word? Or is it the standard conservative answer – that word means how you define it?
“liberal” is horribly misused. i’d hate to ever call you a liberal about anything mr oligarchy. you’re absolutely not a liberal in the classic sense. no oligarch could be. regarding “socialism,” the rise of unions in the u-s is clearly in line with socialistic growth and development of the society. the main thing wrong with reply #1 to the initial post is that the initial post was so brief that the inferences drawn in reply #1 are not possible to support. “properly” in that context then isn’t possible, as you requested in reply #2 oligarch.
So you just admitted that you either (i) don’t know the definition of the term “socialism” or (ii) take the classic conservative ploy and just define it sloppily or wrongly to fit your feeling of the day. Wow, your thought process is mind boggling.
“take the classic conservative ploy and just define it sloppily or wrongly to fit your feeling of the day. ”
“classic conservative ploy”–ANOTHER strawman from AO!
You’ve already been called out for making stuff up–
either prove it, or shut up

The most wonderful thing about this entire proposition is that the Republican stance – fiscal responsibility, like sh**, runs down hill – is fine until someone wants to give the plumber some tools to deal with the sh**.
Another Republican principle that works like a charm every single time…

““Local control, local control, local control” they all scream. Everyone espouses the benefits of local control”
Sounds like another strawman manufacturer!
Who are these people who are “screaming” about local control on sales taxes?
PLEASE, name a few mainstream folks who are screaming about that.

Classic Republican move – don’t address the question and spew a bunch of chaff.
What is your definition of the term, “socialism?”
That should be simple enough. You obviously don’t know, so go look it up. I would tell you, but the tragedy of this entire exchange is that I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.
ambush today, card check tomorrow, no right to work the day after. thanks senator.
HUGE improvement over Johnson!
Right like the big companies, brought over time to the work place, slave labor for kids. FORGOT 7.50 an hour lets get rid of the eight dollar employee, also the forty hour work week .Socialism give me a break.
Johnson never heard of Joop with Johnson.
