Obama's NLRB Trying To Raise The Dead

From Mike at Cranky Hermit (http://crankyhermit.blogspot.com/ ) and Laborunionreport.com:
If you thought the union extremists at the National Labor Relations Board were a little…er…extreme, wait until you get a load of this latest example of an agency run amok....
The Board granted the Acting General Counsel’s Motion for Default Judgment based on the Respondent’s failure to file an answer to the complaint. The Board found that the death of BLSI, LLC’s owner and the insolvency of his estate did not constitute good cause for the Respondent’s failure to answer the complaint.
So, in addition to prosecuting companies for deciding to open new non-union plants, giving union pushers the ability to physically threaten voters, as well as legitimizing sweetheart unions, Obama’s National Labor Relations Board is now prosecuting dead people too.
What’s even more pathetic is the NLRB’s prosecution of said dead person is, in part, based on said dead person’s failing to respond to the NLRB.
In the absence of good cause being shown for the failure to file a timely answer, we deem the allegations in the complaint admitted as true, and we grant the Acting General Counsel’s Motion for Default Judgment.
In other words, being dead is no longer a good enough cause not to respond and, as a result, the dead person is guilty.
According to the NLRB’s decision, BLSI, LLC (whose sole owner Gordon L. Wray Jr. is dead and his estate insolvent) is a labor law violator because, among other things, the company failed to respond to the NLRB. Here it is in their own words:

Not only do they find the dead man in default because he had died, then the NLRB decides impose sanctions against the dead man.
Having found that the Respondent has engaged in certain unfair labor practices, we shall order it to cease and desist and to take certain affirmative action designed to effectuate the policies of the Act. Specifically, having found that the Respondent has violated Section 8(a)(1) and (5) of the Act by failing and refusing to bargain with the Union, we shall order it to cease and desist therefrom and to bargain on request with the Union, and, if an understanding is reached, to embody the understanding in a signed agreement. To ensure that the employees are ac-corded the services of their selected bargaining agent for the period provided by law, we shall construe the initial period of the certification as beginning the date the Respondent begins to bargain in good faith with the Union.

Once again, the Respondent is dead…his estate is insolvent.

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. This is what you get an anti-business incompetent president who stocks the NLRB with anti-business flunkies.

Next up: the NLRB goes after Santa Claus and his union elves.
