Despite a joint resolution of disapproval from Congress, two pending lawsuits, and objections from many employers and business groups, controversial new election rules from the National Labor Relations Board are still on track to take effect on April 14, 2015.

President Obama, in a memorandum supporting his veto of the Congressional resolution, called the new rules "modest but overdue reforms to simplify and streamline private sector union elections."

House Speaker John Boehner, however, denounced the new rules an "an assault on the rights and privacy protections of American workers."

Regardless of your political or union affiliation, these new rules present a huge shift in how union organizing and labor relations will be conducted moving forward.

1. My simple solution

Citizens voting and workers deciding to form a union are two activities that should enjoy the same treatment and legitimacy that Republicans routinely confer on gun ownership.
