Legislative Alert: Quayle Amendment to the Military Construction Appropriations Bill

Abstract

[Excerpt] On behalf of the AFL-CIO, I urge you to oppose the Quayle Amendment (No, 3) to the Military Construction appropriations bill. The Quayle Amendment would prohibit implementation of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rule that requires employers to post workplace notices informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Prohibiting the NLRB from informing workers of their basic rights is tantamount to denying them their rights, and that is clearly the intention of the amendment.
