[Brooks]: “This is the agency that is supposed to be protecting employee rights. And instead of protecting employee rights they are violating the law themselves."

Eric Brooks, President of the National Labor Relations Board union. The Bush National Labor relations Board is guilty of violating federal labor law for refusing to bargain with the union. That's according to a Federal Labor Relations Authority judge. The NLRB is illegally refusing to bargain with a consolidated union bargaining unit representing a thousand NLRB workers. The NLRB is supposed to uphold the rights of workers to collectively bargain, but instead is violating it’s own workers labor rights. Brooks says if NLRB General Counsel Ronald Meisburg can't obey labor law as he’s sworn to do or hit the road.

[Brooks 2]: “If the agency won't honor the law in the public sector, can the employees in the private sector that are under the NLRB's jurisdiction count on the NLRB to enforce the law and protect their own rights? We think it's time that the General Counsel either start to obey the law - or if he can' t do that - he should resign."

Workers at the National Labor Relations Board are barred from striking but they’re using informational pickets and all legal means available to force the Bush NLRB to obey labor law and the labor rights of its own employees.
