Washington, DC<\/strong>\u2013The National Consumers League\u2019s Sally Greenberg issued the following statement denouncing the introduction of H.R. 2587, \u2018Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act\u2019 which would allow companies to eliminate or outsource work in violation of workers\u2019 rights under the National Labor Relations Act:<\/p>\n The National Consumers League (NCL), which has been protecting and promoting social and economic justice for workers and consumers in the United States and abroad for 112 years, opposes H.R. 2587, \u2018Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n H.R. 2587 would remove the only meaningful remedy available to workers if a company illegally moves operations or eliminates work because workers engaged in protected activities such as organizing a union. An employer can outsource for any reason, except for an unlawful reason. Retaliating against workers for exercising their rights under the National Labor Relations Act is one unlawful reason.<\/em><\/p>\n The National Labor Relations Board plays a historic and invaluable role as the body mandated to interpret our nation\u2019s labor laws.\u00a0 H.R. 2587 would strip away a critical tool in the board\u2019s mandated to safeguard employees\u2019 rights to organize, and to\u00a0<\/em>prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by employers and unions.<\/em><\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n About the National Consumers League<\/strong><\/p>\n The National Consumers League, founded in 1899, is America’s pioneer consumer organization.
