More scary PR from the Union Busting industry below on labor reform coming from Dems. Although the PR doesn't say it, most Small Businesses are exempt from Federal Labor law, and ALL Small Businesses would be exempt if Congress adjusted the NLRB's 1959 interstate trade threshold of $500,000 to an inflation adjusted $3.1 Million.
Mom and pop shops can't afford anti-union lawyers, and tend to play by the rules. The union busters, chambers of commerce, and the GOP aren't trying to protect "small business." Their neglect to adjust the $500K exemption proves it. Big Business are the ones who want to keep $0 penalties for labor law violations, but they also want the support of small business owners by putting more of them under Federal jurisdiction.
The Employee Free Choice Act adds penalties for firing union supporters. It also levels the playing field for small business as well as law-abiding big businesses against scofflaw corporations.
The unionbusters PR over the fold...
The Kiss of Death to Small Employers
