I took this entire article from the Labor Union Report (a blog on my speed dial). Does anyone get just how anti-Constitutional this bunch of hoodlums are, the ones Occupying our White House ???? I do, that's why I blog.
NLRB To Force Companies To Turn Over Employee Telephone Numbers & E-Mail Addresses To Unions?

Union-backed NLRB Chairman: “We keep our eye on the prize.”
Undaunted by the constitutionally-questionable
appointment of three members to Barack Obama’s National
Labor Relations Board, union attorney and current NLRB chairman Mark Pearce
declared in an Associated Press
interview that he and his union comrades are continuing their
assault on the 93% of private-sector employees who are union-free.
In fact, if Obama’s
union appointees have their way, all employees who are targeted for
unionization will have their employers forced to turn over their home telephone
number and e-mail addresses to unions.
Ever since the 1960s,
when unions have targeted companies for unionization through a NLRB-supervised
election, employers have been required to turn over the list of
employee names and their home addresses. The NLRB, in turn, promptly gives
the list of employee names and home addresses to the involved union(s).
This list, called
an Excelsior List,
gives union organizers the ability to conduct intrusive home visits prior to
the NLRB election. As is often said, just as when any other salesperson doing
door-to-door sales knocks at the door,targeted employees can invite the
union organizers into their homes, or they can sic the chihuahua on
them.
The requirement to
furnish the employees’ names and addresses list is mandatory. In fact, the
refusal by an employer to furnish the list (or providing a list with too many
errors) would typically result in the NLRB’s automatic overturning of an
election if a union were to lose. Again, this requirement has been the standard
since the 1960s.
Now, however, the union
appointees within the Obama NLRB want to expand the current Excelsior List
requirement from the mere furnishing of names and addresses to also include furnishing
employees’ home telephone numbers and their e-mail addresses to enable unions
to perpetually propagandize employees.
According to the AP report:
“We keep our eye on the prize,” Pearce said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Our goal is to create a set of rules that eliminate a lot of waste of time, energy and money for the taxpayers.”One change Pearce wants is to require businesses to hand over lists of employee phone numbers and emails to union leaders before an election.He also wants the board to consider other rule changes it didn’t have time to approve before it was on the verge of losing a quorum last year. That includes the use of electronic filings and quicker timetables for certain procedures.“My personal hope is that we take on all of these things and consider each one of these rules,” Pearce said. “We presume the constitutionality of the president’s appointments, and we go forward based on that understanding.”
With ambush elections
looming on the horizon, as long as Obama’s NLRB continues its assault on union-free
employers and their employees (and as long as Republicans remain unwilling to, or incapable of truly reining in the
rogue NLRB), as opposed to creating jobs Barack Obama’s alleged goal of creating
jobs will remain elusive. Still, the union bureaucrats within the federal
apparatchik don’t seem to understand this simple fact.
Now, however, the union
appointees within the Obama NLRB want to expand the current Excelsior List
requirement from the mere furnishing of names and addresses to also include furnishing
employees’ home telephone numbers and their e-mail addresses to enable unions
to perpetually propagandize employees.
