December 17, 2007

Check out Chris Bowers' post on Open Left regarding the ideological shift of the National Labor Relations Board. It should more aptly be called the “No” Labor Relations Board.

Chris, a former union organizer, also covered the recent House and Senate hearings on the NLRB for the AFL-CIO Now blog.
