WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans controlling the Senate have moved to try to reverse a new National Labor Relations Board rule that would shorten the time between a union's request for representation and the vote on whether to certify a union.

Isn't this just convenient that the right wing republicans that go around spewing there right wing hypocrisy of saying that they are looking out for the little guy and woman when it comes to the 50+1 majority when the people / worker decides to have a UNION vote, they must not have gotten the memo, unless it came form the Right For Workless Corporation down in Washington.
