Press Associates Union News Service at People’s World report the Right-Wing Republican chair of a House Subcommittee that deals with Labor Law led off the panel’s sixth Anti-Worker hearing in the current Congress - and the second in a month - with a long rant against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).  The title of last week’s House Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee hearing gave the game away.  Republicans called it to investigate, as its headline said: “NLRB overreach and Union bias.”  They followed with a nasty lead tweet: “Unions are like a bad habit: Easy to get into, hard to get rid of.”  U.S. Representative Jahana Hayes (Democrat-Connecticut) - a Member of the National Education Association (NEA) and former National Teacher of the Year, defended Labor Unions at the House hearing: “The benefits for Union-Busting outweigh the penalties.  Without a source of income, they (Workers) may suffer additional harms.”
