NLRB
To
Force Companies To Turn Over Employee Telephone Numbers &
E-Mail Addresses
To Unions?
Union-backed
NLRB Chairman: “We keep our eye on the prize.”

Undaunted
by the constitutionally-questionable appointment of three members to
Barack
Obama’s National Labor Relations Board, union attorney and current NLRB
chairman Mark Pearce declared in an Associated Press interview that he
and his
union comrades are continuing their assault on the 93% of
private-sector
employees who are union-free.
In
fact, if
Obama’s union appointees have their way, all employees who are targeted
for
unionization will have their employers forced to turn over their home
telephone
number and e-mail addresses to unions.
Ever
since
the 1960s, when unions have targeted companies for unionization through
a
NLRB-supervised election, employers have been required to turn over the
list of
employee names and their home addresses. The NLRB, in turn, promptly
gives the
list of employee names and home addresses to the involved union(s).
This
list,
called an Excelsior List, gives union organizers the ability to conduct
intrusive home visits prior to the NLRB election. As is often said,
just as
when any other salesperson doing door-to-door sales knocks at the door,
targeted employees can invite the union organizers into their homes, or
they
can sic the chihuahua on them.
The
requirement to furnish the employees’ names and addresses list is
mandatory. In
fact, the refusal by an employer to furnish the list (or providing a
list with
too many errors) would typically result in the NLRB’s automatic
overturning of
an election if a union were to lose. Again, this requirement has been
the
standard since the 1960s.
Now,
however, the union appointees within the Obama NLRB want to expand the
current
Excelsior List requirement from the mere furnishing of names and
addresses to
also include furnishing employees’ home telephone numbers and their
e-mail
addresses to enable unions to perpetually propagandize employees.
