How You Can Help!

Dear State Chairs & CDLs:  
The National Labor Relations Board has had only two out of five members for the last two years. Senate Republicans are using the filibuster to block President Obama’s nominees to the NLRB which decides cases involving American workers rights. President Obama needs to give recess appointments to Craig Becker and Mark Pearce during the current Presidents Day recess so the NLRB can do its job.  

We need your help and help from as many members as possible to start making phone calls beginning tomorrow morning to the White House and urge the President to make these recess appointments without delay. Below are some talking points to help you and your members with the calls: 

-Senate Republicans are using the filibuster to block President Obama’s nominees to the National Labor Relations Board which decides cases involving American workers rights.   

-For over two years, the NLRB has had only two of its five members. Workers need an NLRB that can and will enforce the National Labor Relations Act and protect workers' rights - not an NLRB handicapped by vacancies.
