I read somewhere recently that the present clusterfuck that we lovingly refer to as the NLRB is headed to the Supreme Court in the near future. They are using two cases as "models"-- one is Laurel-Baye (something, something) and I don't recall the opposing view case that they will use to determine this nearly two year old SCREWING of the American working man...I'm referring to the present 2 member Board and the "2 out of 3 ain't bad" mess (decisions handed down by the two member board plus it's General Counsel). One court DC (Conservative) ruled that three does not constitute a qourom and blocked the hundreds if not nearly 1000 by now mostly pro-worker decisions from being implemented. The other Appelate, Chicago (liberal) ruled "don't be sad--2 out of 3 ain't bad" and upheld the present Board's interpretation that 3 members DO constitute a quorum under the NLRA's rules.
Hmmm. This should turn out real well.
Bout as well as the campaign contribution thingie recently handed down by the 5 blind mice.
Do I REALLY need to add the sarcasm emoticon?
