I have zero sympathy. We tried to warn ya…

Shocking

It’s FAFO season!

“He hits us, because he loves us”

He’ll sell out the membership for cash. Watch for upcoming “negotiations “.

Section 1 of the Act makes clear that the policy of the United States is to encourage the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and to protect the exercise by workers of their full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment.

As a career employee of the NLRB, I have endeavored to effectuate this policy.

As Acting General Counsel, I will continue to work to realize the Act’s purpose. I have determined that a number of outstanding General Counsel Memoranda are either inconsistent with the above-described policies and/or Board law, or are no longer necessary.

Accordingly, I am rescinding the following General Counsel Memoranda:  GC 18-04, Guidance on Handbook Rules Post-Boeing (June 6, 2018) (instructing Regions on the placement of various types of employer rules into the three categories set out in the then-recent Board decision in The Boeing Company, 365 NLRB No. 154 (Dec. 14, 2017)). Note that this Memorandum is being rescinded as it is no longer necessary, given the number of Board cases interpreting Boeing that have since issued. 

GC 18-06, Responding to Motions to Intervene by Decertification Petitioners and Employees (Aug. 1, 2018) (requiring Regions to no longer oppose intervention in ULP hearings by proposed Intervenors such as individuals who have filed a decertification petition or circulated a document upon which the employer has unlawfully withdrawn recognition of the collective-bargaining representative).

Note that the approach reflected in GC 18-06 is inconsistent with prior practice.  GC 19-01, General Counsel’s Instructions Regarding Section 8(b)(1)(A) Duty of Fair Representation Charges (Oct. 24, 2018) (seeking change in Board law to require unions raising a “mere negligence” defense to a DFR allegation concerning a union’s grievance handling to establish the existence of established, reasonable procedures or systems in place to track grievances; classifying a union’s failure to communicate grievance decisions and/or respond to a grievant’s inquiries as arbitrary conduct rather than “mere negligence”). 

GC 19-03, Deferral under Dubo Manufacturing Company (Dec. 28, 2018) (instructing Regions to defer under Dubo [142 NLRB 431 (1963)], or consider deferral thereunder, of all Section 8(a)(1), (3), (5) and 8(b)(1)(A), and (3) cases in which a grievance was filed and not to apply Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co. 361 NLRB 1127 (2014) (“Babcock”) to cases that could be deferred under Dubo). Since Babcock was overruled by United Parcel Services. Corp., 369 NLRB No. 1 (Dec. 23, 2019), GC 19-03 is outdated. To the extent the memorandum made changes to case handling procedures relating to the deferral of cases under Dubo, Regions should follow Section 10118.1(c) of the Unfair Labor Practice Casehandling Manual and the memoranda cited therein. 

GC 19-04, Unions’ Duty to Properly Notify Employees of Their General Motors/Beck Rights and to Accept Dues Checkoff Revocations after Contract Expiration (Feb. 22, 2019) (requiring Regions to urge the Board to overturn Food & Commercial Workers Local 700 (Kroger Limited Partnership), 361 NLRB 420 (2014) and to adopt the D.C. Circuit’s holding in Penrod v. NLRB, 203 F.3d 41 (D.C. Cir. 2000) requiring unions to provide the reduced amount of dues and fees for dues objectors in the initial Beck notice; requiring Regions to urge the Board to overturn Frito-Lay, 243 NLRB 137 (1979) and limit dues authorization window periods; finding unions’ certified mail requirements unlawful; and mandating certain union communications with employees concerning untimely revocation requests).  GC 19-05, General Counsel’s Clarification Regarding Section 8(b)(1)(A) Duty of Fair Representation Charges (Mar. 26, 2019) (relating to GC 19-01). 

GC 19-06, Beck Case Handling and Chargeability Issues in Light of United Nurses & Allied Professionals (Kent Hospital) [367 NLRB No. 94 (Mar. 1, 2019)] (Apr. 29, 2019) (instructing Regions investigating agency fee objector cases to require unions to provide detailed explanations of the union’s chargeability decisions for each major category of expenses and the method used to determine the portion of expenses chargeable in mixed expenditure categories instead of requiring objectors to explain why an expenditure is nonchargeable; requiring unions to categorize lobbying expenses as nonchargeable and to account for any other secondary costs used to support its lobbying activities; finding no amount de minimis). 

GC 20-08, Changes to Investigative Practices (June 17, 2020) (instructing Regions on how to proceed during investigations in connection with securing the testimony of former supervisors and former agents, and how audio records should be dealt with during investigations). Note that this Memorandum is being rescinded because portions are inconsistent with prior practices. Regions should continue to not accept recordings that violate the Federal Wiretap Act and to apprise individuals who proffer recorded evidence when it may violate state law. 

GC 20-09, Guidance Memorandum on Make Whole Remedies in Duty of Fair Representation Cases (June 26, 2020) (instructing Regions to urge the Board to overrule Ironworkers Local Union 377 (Alamillo Steel), 326 NLRB 375 (1998) and adopt an “arguable merit” standard that reverses the burdens of proof and imposes full liability on a union for its grievance-handling absent the union establishing that the grievance lacked merit). 

GC 20-13, Guidance Memorandum on Employer Assistance in Union Organizing (Sept. 4, 2020) (requiring Regions to urge the Board in charges involving union neutrality agreements to adopt the “more than ministerial aid” standard used in union decertification cases). Future memoranda setting forth additional new policies will issue in the near future.

Since when have we been able to actually choose any representation as IBEW members for our parent body organization without appointments being made?

None of these rescinded actions protect the actual worker, they only protect those selling out the members in representation offices, to make excuses to not represent the Rank and File..

So THESE are the stupidest MFers in the skilled trades then?

A known serial liar lied to you? What!?!?

Wow. Imagine being such a dumbshit that you can’t figure out Donald Trump is the biggest liar of our lifetime.

wait so the steel company wants to be bought by a foreign company?

The known conman lied? Woah. Who would have seen this coming. It’s not like he’s been pulling this shit for well over half a century now.

The takes in these comments-

MMW, The people with the power to influence others have been across the board, bribed by Trump.

Remember the shipping guy? 100% was bought
The teamster guy? bought
steel guy … Could he just be a dumbass? Or could he have taken 10M? Probably just a dumbass ngl.

Make a list of every lilly livered dingle fuck out there: watch and see. Their jobs and the people they’re trusted to protect, guide and advise mean nothing to them next to a life-changing sum of money.

The “tHeY jUsT CaN’t aCcEpT BeInG wRoNg” crowd are morons. It’s called corruption- the union people entrusted to protect their workers, MMW, are taking money to make political theater to their own demise and detriment.

Why does the union want the merger? Stock
Options?

I wonder how upset he will be when Trump and company eliminate the NLRB screwing unions over everywhere! How he gets to tell his members that Trump just gutted Social Security so they will have to work until they DIE. No safety net for you. You paid in all your lives but Trump wants to give the rich another tax break so everyone on SS has to starve to death.

ummm

this is the exact same stance as the Biden admin you fucking tard’s

https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/biden-says-he-hasnt-changed-his-mind-nippon-steel-deal-2024-09-27/

*U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday his opposition to Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel (X.N), hadn’t changed despite a decision by his administration to extend a national security review of the proposed tie-up*

*“I haven’t changed my mind,” he told reporters, when asked if the extension indicated a change of heart*

Wait, Trump lied? No way!

He wants it owned by the the USA.
