              Ένα σοβαρό χτύπημα στα δικαιώματα των ΗΠΑ. Εργαζόμενοι
Παρασκευή, 3η Οκτωβρίου 2008 Από ROBERT SCHWARTZ | Το γραφείο του Meisburg δαπάνες απομάκρυνε των εργαζομένων». In his directive, Meisburg, a management lawyer appointed by President Bush, asserted for the first time that work stoppages are protected by the National Labor Relations Act only if they are “directed at an employer who has control over the subject matter of the dispute.” Thirty years ago the Supreme Court ruled that workers can take part in political activity in their workplaces if the issues involved have a substantial impact on workers’ rights or job conditions. Meisburg said his position was consistent with a footnote in that case, although no other legal authority had drawn such a conclusion. Although the Meisburg directive does not go so far as to make political strikes illegal, the effect is the same. Unless the next general counsel reverses the order, union and non-union workers who hit the bricks over government policies on immigration, health care, or fuel prices, no matter how closely related these matters are to their employment, do so at the risk of immediately and permanently losing their jobs.
