          HERE THEY GO AGAIN: NLRB AND UNIONS ARE KILLING JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the NLRB, under the 
influence of union bosses, on Tuesday acted again to restrict workers' 
rights. The NLRB proposed new rules that would speed up elections for 
unionization. In doing so, unions would force workers into union 
memberships before fully considering both the advantages and 
disadvantages of membership. By implementing a shorter voting period, 
U.S. Chamber Vice President Randy Johnson has revealed this is a 
cleverly disguised mandate to pressure workers into joining a union 
without making an informed decision.
  Moreover, the NLRB wants to delay litigation over many voter 
eligibility issues. As Chairman John Kline stated, ``Big Labor has 
found faithful friends on the Obama NLRB.''
  The job-killing influence of unions over the NLRB must be stopped 
before it tramples the rights of American workers, killing jobs at 
Boeing in South Carolina, and now killing jobs across America.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
