In Budget Proposal Riddled With Anti-Union Measures, House Republicans Take Aim At National Labor Relations Board
House Republicans voted on Wednesday to cut the National Labor Relations Board budget by $74 million, a cut of 27 percent. The proposal also included several anti-union measures, such as the prevention of a joint-employer standard that would hold franchise owners, such as McDonalds, accountable for labor law violations, as well as the blocking of any jurisdiction over Indian-owned businesses on tribal lands. The proposed bill is likely to meet heavy opposition by Senate Democrats.
