George Bush's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is getting ready to deal a serious blow to workers' rights -- and you can help stop it. The NLRB is considering adopting new rules that would classify several broad categories of workers -- nurses, scientists, cooks, security guards and others -- as "supervisors" rather than workers. This would prevent them from being able to participate in their unions. According to a new study, this radical change would strip up to 8 million working people of their right to organize in the workplace.
Scores of union members will rally at the NLRB's headquarters to let the agency know that working people are watching as it make its decision. You can help by joining the rally. The greater the participation, the stronger the message we'll send together to the NLRB.
When: Thursday, July 13, at noon a.m.
Where: NLRB (14th and L Streets NW)
