NLRB: The point of the fascist spear?

A new ruling allows the majority who vote in a union election to determine unionization.  This replaces a rule that required a majority of the workers represented to vote for the union.  It makes it much easier to unionize and incents the union and the pro union staffers at NLRB and the NMB to structure union elections to minimize turnout.  After all, they only want the hard core to vote.

This new reality came about in 2010, when a voting rule enacted through the Railway Labor Act was stripped away by the National Mediation Board (NMB). This resulted in the potential for groups of railroad and airline workers to be unionized without the majority of them being in favor of it. Now, only a majority of those who choose to vote, as opposed to a majority of the total, are needed to unionize. To allow the fate of the majority of workers to be decided by only a small handful is not only undemocratic — it fails to protect private-industry workers at a time when they need it the most.
