Republicans attack Workers Again

Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Nurses who assign duties to other nurses can be designated as supervisors and kept out of unions, the National Labor Relations Board said in a decision that labor groups said jeopardizes millions of workers' organizing rights.

The NLRB's 3-2 decision in a case involving an acute care hospital in Michigan is a followup to a 2001 Supreme Court decision that broadened the definition of supervisors exempt from union coverage.

The 3 Bush appointees on the board voted for this attack, of course.
