In response to a September 6 White House Executive Order (EO) to Federal Agencies on the adoption of new labor practices, Glenn Spencer, Senior Vice President for Employment Policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, issued the following statement:
“The executive order is the latest example of the administration placing the interests of union bosses ahead of everyone else. The so-called “good jobs” policy would deprive workers of a private ballot and raise costs on taxpayers for many government services by reducing competition. Under the EO, the government would become more costly and less effective while workers would be forced into representation regardless of their wishes.
The Chamber remains dedicated to advocating for policies that ensure fair competition and an even playing field, precisely when Americans need more competition and innovation to drive economic growth – not less. The Executive Order should be withdrawn immediately.”
