The next big showdown at the United States Supreme Court is just around the corner -- and your National Right to Work Foundation is right in the thick of it.
In January a federal appeals court relied on arguments made by Foundation staff attorneys -- who filed an amicus brief on behalf of four workers with cases pending before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) -- and stuck down Barack Obama's "recess" appointments to the Board as unconstitutional.
Next, Foundation attorneys asked the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to enforce its decision and make the illegitimate NLRB cease and desist, and the Court has already ordered the NLRB to file a response to justify its continued operation.
Meanwhile, another Foundation-assisted challenge is pending in a different federal circuit.
And now the Obama Labor Board announced it will appeal the D.C. Circuit's opinion to the High Court.
Not only must we be prepared to take on the Obama NLRB at the Supreme Court, your Foundation must be ready to re-litigate any null and void cases.
You see, because the appointments were unconstitutional, the NLRB has lacked the three-member quorum it needs to rule on cases since January 3, 2012.
That means, with one fell swoop, EVERY power grab rammed through the Obama Labor Board for the last year is null and void, such as the Board's decision to allow "micro organizing" within workplaces.
Long sought by Big Labor, that ruling allows union organizers to target small units of employees if they know most employees at a workplace don't want to join a union.
In another critical case, the Obama NLRB dismissed the petition Kyle Chilton and his co-workers signed asking for a vote to remove the International Association of Machinists (IAM) union hierarchy from their workplace.
The Obama Labor Board had already signaled that it wants to ram through more rule changes designed to empower union bosses at the expense of rank-and-file workers.
President Obama defiantly bypassed Congress, the Constitution, and the American people -- and has now been rebuked in federal court.
I'm grateful that generous support from concerned citizens like you has taken us this far, and I know I can count on you as when enter the next phase at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
