Why the NLRB Should Be Abolished

Here's an email from an NLRB Agent to a colleague of mine:

In Case 21-CA-38181 it is alleged that the Employer violated Section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the Act by harassing, coercing, discrimination against, and threatening an off-duty employee because the employee supports the Union. Specifically, the Union alleges that the Employer summoned a security guard to harass a Union employee, and the guard, with a dog by his side, threatened the Union employee.

The Region has authorized dismissal, absent withdrawal on this allegation. The investigation failed to reveal that the guard made any threats (or statements for that matter) to the employee. There is no evidence that the dog made any motion or threatening gesture toward the employee. Finally, there is no evidence supporting a Section 8(a)(3) violation.
