During Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House, he has stacked the deck at the National Labor Relations Board with officials sympathetic to unions. (At one point, a unanimous Supreme Court decision ruled that Obama’s recess appointments to the board were illegal.) The NLRB has in turn issued all sorts of new rules to inhibit union the transparency of union officials, tie employers’ hands who want to make their case during unions elections, and give organized labor an unfair advantage during contract negotiations.
