Union bosses and their allies in the federal government are trying to enact "card check" through regulation.
Federal regulators appointed by the Obama administration at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Department of Labor have proposed two new regulations that threaten employers' ability to seek and retain legal counsel and properly discuss union organizing drives with employees. The effect will be to make a mockery of real elections and impose "card check" by regulation.
Working with the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace , we are providing an easy way for you to contact federal agencies and members of Congress and tell them to stop "card check" by regulation, stop the NLRB's outrageous prosecution in the Boeing case and stop "micro-unions."

Combined, these proposed rules would:
- Decrease the time employers have to speak with their employees about union representation, potentially to just 10 days from the current median of 38 days;
- Effectively block small businesses from obtaining legal and other advice about how to talk to employees during a union organizing drive;
- Ensure many attorneys will be unwilling to assist employers under new rules that could force disclosure of private financial and other data;
- Unfairly tip the scale toward union organizers and leave employees without enough information or time to make a real decision in a real election.
Please voice your opinion and tell these regulators to stop pushing "card check.
Also tell your legislators about other pending attacks on business, such as decisions that would allow for swarms of micro-unions (designed to let organizers cherry pick pro-union employees, but disenfranchise those who may vote to remain union-free) and ask them to support legislation preventing NLRB from telling private employers where they can operate or create jobs.
Only a forceful reply by America's job creators can convince the administration to put away these costly, bureaucratic, and unfair rules so that we can return to focusing on our companies and creating jobs.
