Rep. Tim Scott urged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Friday to schedule a vote on a House bill that would prohibit the National Labor Relations Board from ordering any business to close or relocate.(from charlestonbusiness.com)
Scott’s bill, called the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act, passed 238-186 in the House on Sept. 15. Eight Democrats joined 230 Republicans for the passage.
“The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has more than a dozen remedies if it finds that an employer has violated the NLRA (National Labor Relations Act),” Scott, R-S.C., wrote to Reid, a Democrat representing Nevada. “We do not believe these remedies should include the destruction of jobs, especially with national unemployment at 9.1 percent.”
