Here's -- pumping up unions.
Now group of Republicans are fighting back today introducing a bill that would roll back new regulations that make it easier for companies to unionized.
Georgia congressman they'll -- -- is one of them and he joins us now.
Congressman thanks so much for joining us.
-- glad to be with you we're trying to roll back this new policy.
-- let me just say at the outset that this ambush rule.
Issue about a in LRB.
The national lose your right forward so called National Labor Relations Board.
Really chaps Mac.
With and -- that's why that's watched -- today yeah.
We're using that lineup that.
I get a royalty -- -- get full attribution Melissa thank you but I cloud -- HJ resolution 103 your resolution.
Well disapproval of this rule Melissa on the congressional review act we have sixty days in the congress to do that they originate in the House of Representatives.
Chairman John -- of -- education and workforce committee.
Is my original cosponsor senator that -- C has filed the same resolution in the senate supported back Bob Mattson after all from Georgia Johnny asked -- and.
And we're gonna stop the us did this thought National Labor Relations Board.
You know President Obama and the in the non recess recess appointment.
Well of course this is just a nothing but let's hop to labor unions while they -- it allows them under -- ambush rule.
Two to make a small business men and women.
Have an election a union election within ten days of notify and that the union has -- that petition.
-- tradition and that's been up to thirty days and that's just absolutely -- unfair to small business men and women.
Let me -- devil's advocate for a second here it if you look at your -- from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2011.
Salary comparison of median weekly earnings.
Union workers make an average of 938 dollars a week nonunion workers make 729.
Dollars they would say.
That he worked for the union you make more money see you should watching unionized we're just trying to unionize workers to statistic.
Give them more rights and more money.
Well of course what they don't say is it probably 300 odd dollars a month of bad.
-- goes to paying labor -- union dues.
Most of which goes to support.
-- because -- on behalf of Democrats so.
Obviously that the president wanted to give this -- Well to the labor union at the haven't slap them in place.
With not approving the keystone XL pipeline.
In a 120000.
New jobs which the labor union was very much in favor of that but guess who wasn't.
The environmental extremists.
So he gives with one hand he takes away with the -- and this is all politics Melissa.
But we're gonna stop it because we can do that -- up or down vote in the senate.
We don't need to have the -- simple majority vote.
And -- cloture of course Harry Reid just like on net neutrality -- which we we that resolution of disapproval was was up passed in the House of Representatives.
Thought it it will pass is -- it prepared reasonable level that come to to the floor -- yeah.
Don't hold your breath -- -- When you get down into the nitty gritty of this it says the chairman of the MO RB one change that he wants is to require businesses to hand over employee phone numbers.
Blake would be so mad and my employer gave my phone number to anybody wouldn't you.
You know I -- -- -- from what I elbow and one of these three new appointees is -- called on recess.
Recess appointments unconstitutional.
By the way yeah it's it's just a little bored of that AFL CIO and another is a formal labor union attorney.
So go figure there about 200 issues and they're gonna deal -- all in favor of the Democrats congressman -- at a time thanks so much for joining us we really appreciate it.
Thank you Melissa and -- by the -- you get that full attribution.
