The short explanation of this alert was:

Have you ever shown a colleague at work how to perform a task? Have you ever asked a co-worker to do something to help you finish your own job? If so, the federal labor board is poised to revoke your legal right to union protection. You would lose your right to form a union and join with your co-workers to bargain collectively for a better life.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), currently dominated by pro-corporate Bush-appointees, will soon decide three cases that could further attack workers’ rights in America. The NLRB may vote to broaden the definition of a “supervisor” to include anyone who assigns or directs the work of others—whether or not they are actually part of management—thereby further stripping from these workers their legal protections under the National Labor Relations Act.
