US labor leaders say underfunding at federal agency has ‘reached crisis stage’

Union officials fear that the overstretched NLRB won’t be able to handle the surge in union activity, giving corporations the upper hand

www.theguardian.com

“We’ve been blocked for nine straight years in seeking to increase the NLRB’s funding, and inflation has left its budget 25% behind where it should be,” said Bill Samuel, legislative director of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s main labor federation. “When you take into account the explosion in the NLRB’s workload because of increased organizing, renewed enforcement and the increase in labor law violations, they’ve reached a crisis stage.”

Largely due to Republican opposition, the NLRB’s budget has been frozen at $274m since fiscal year 2014, with Biden proposing an increase to $319m for fiscal 2023. As a result of budgetary strains, the NLRB’s field staff has been cut by 37% since 2014 and 50% since 2002.

Labor is under attack

They could borrow some new IRS agents...

I never dealt with the NLRB...but I got a feeling that they been neutered sometime ago.

Both the Companies and the Unions do not fear them anymore...they basically make a ruling with no real teeth to enforce it.

But the Democrats are in control and they're pro labor. How can labor be under attack.

Too many Democrats vote like they are Republicans. Anti labor.

They will leave us alone if only we quit being so uppity...and God Forbid ask the wrong questions.

Workers need to friend! the NLRB, too often unions will win an election, then get bogged down in the NLRB process and play a waiting game. Workers have to continue to organize and keep maximum pressure on an employer and the union leadership to win a contract. If a union official says, "Well, we gotta wait to see what the NLRB decides before we can do anything" That is BS

There are no Democrats or Republicans. There is only The Party.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it.

Democrats are indifferent to organized labor, Republicans are openly hostile, I'll take indifference.

Credit card companies?

Dems don't need organized labor anymore now they have immigrants to vote their way

But they'll let labor cu*k itself and beg for scraps if it makes them feel important

Democrats are openly hostile to the middle and lower classes.

This is a bizarre statement.

Democrats have NEVER been so far Communist/socialist/liberal(pro-labor) as today.

Remember.....many....matter of fact.....lot's of big tech businesses are owned and run by Democrats....that means they want wages........L O W.
