This is comment on Proposed Rule

Notification of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws

View Comment

As a long term Human Resources professional, I am opposed to the proposed rules as they currently stand. These rules for government contractors are not balanced and fully disclosing an employee's rights under the NLRA - but are a one-sided encouragement of unionization for federal contractors. If these rules accomplish the goal they appear to support - increasing unionization - they will also increase costs for taxpayers and drive up inflation. If further education of employees on their rights under the NLRA is the goal, then a BALANCED presentation of their rights both to SUPPORT as well as OPPOSE unionization should be created with a neutral preamble as to the stand of the government of the United States toward unionization. Unions are not the protector of defenseless employees, they are another big business trying to stay alive - this rule sounds like their bail-out.
