Obama the Posterizer

[Geee]

American Spectator:

Just when it looked like employers were getting less fearful about what President Obama might do next to worsen the business climate, the National Labor Relations Board (now with its first Democratic majority in a decade, thanks to Obama's appointees) announced on December 14 that private employers will be required to display pro-unionizing posters in their businesses under a newly proposed federal rule.

"The planned rule," reported the Associated Press, "would require businesses to post notices in employee break rooms or other prominent locations to explain workers' rights to bargain collectively, distribute union literature or engage in other union activities without reprisal."

The posters don't explain that the largest reprisal against collectivized labor and unionism comes from the public by way of lower sales -- and then fewer jobs -- when prices of products and services are hiked in order to pay for the escalating costs of higher wages, benefits and pensions.

In the U.S. auto industry, for instance, unionized factory workers have paid a steep price for the public's reprisal against over-compensated employees and subsequently over-priced cars. During decades when both the U.S. population and the domestic car market were significantly expanding, active membership in the United Auto Workers (UAW) dropped from 1.5 million in the late 1970s to 390,000 in 2010.
