What Happens If There's No NLRB?

Activists at CWA's latest political boot camp in Central Valley California tell Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, "Give us five!"

In the Huffington Post, CWA President Larry Cohen lays out the grim scenario for 80 million private sector workers if the Senate doesn't act to confirm all five nominations to the NLRB:

Today, under the watch of another Democratic President and a Democratic majority in the Senate, the NLRB is now in danger of being completely stripped of its authority. The protections that workers fought and died for, already diminished by subsequent legislation and court decisions, will soon disappear if the Senate fails to confirm the president's nominees before its summer recess.

If the Senate does not act, we'll soon be celebrating Labor Day without any labor law. Zero enforcement and no protections for 80 million American workers in the private sector.

Also in DailyKos, Cohen says, "This isn't democracy."

That message is being picked up by four national radio networks and radio stations in Rhode Island, New York, Montana, Indiana and Delaware.
