Crippling the Right to Organize: GOP Inaction May Leave National Labor Relations Board Inoperable

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'The National Labor Relations Board, the government body that oversees labor complaints, is on the verge of being shut down ... Unless a solution is found, the NLRB would be frozen come January. Without the NLRB, workers would lose their legal recourse to defend their right to organize and to protect themselves against anti-union activity by employers.'

Three Million Could Lose Jobless Pay in Impasse

Robert Pear, The New York Times News Service: 'More than three million people stand to lose unemployment insurance benefits in the near future because of an impasse in Congress over how to extend the aid and how to offset the cost. Jobless benefits have been overshadowed by debate on a payroll tax cut, but have become a huge sticking point in negotiations on a bill that deals with both issues.'
