                            NLRB REFORM ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 16, 2015

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, for too long, the partisan 
bias of the National Labor Relations Board--has caused instability in 
how the NLRB will interpret labor policy rules, harming employees and 
destroying jobs. The President's `Big Labor Bully' has constantly 
abused its authority by overregulating and restricting right-to-work 
states.
  Today, I have introduced the NLRB Reform Act to end the bias in the 
NLRB by adding a sixth member--establishing equal representation for 
each political party. It will benefit employers and employees and will 
help create jobs by reining in the unfair general counsel and enforcing 
timely decision-making.
  A non-partisan board would restore fairness to promote new jobs. Last 
week, I announced my introduction of this legislation at Nephron 
Pharmaceuticals in Lexington County with CEO Lou Kennedy, 
Representative Todd Atwater, President of the South Carolina 
Manufacturer's Alliance Louis Gossett, and former CEO of the South 
Carolina Chamber of Commerce Otis Rawl; and at CommuniGraphics in North 
Augusta, with owners Mark and Tracy Cook, and Representative Bill 
Hixon.
  In conclusion, God Bless Our Troops and may the President by his 
actions never forget September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism. Our 
sympathy for America's First Ally, France, as the latest target in the 
Global War on Terrorism.
