Thirty five percent of the time that workers file a petition for an election, the election does not end up happening. By standardizing the process for elections, the proposed rule would help put an end to these ploys to bend the rules and skirt the law. Specifically, the proposed rule to be published in the Federal Register tomorrow calls for several changes, including:. Some conservatives , including those at the Heritage Foundation and the National Right to Work Committee , claim that a standardized process would hinder the ability of employers to explain their views to workers.
Yet the NLRB election process—with its multiple steps—gives more than ample opportunity for employers and unions to educate workers. Indeed, research demonstrates that employers already communicate well before elections occur. In fact, much pre-election communication crosses the line into illegal intimidation of workers.
Kate Bronfenbrenner, a senior lecturer at Cornell found that 24 percent of all serious violations of the National Labor Relations Act, such as illegal harassment, coercion, or firing, occur before the petition is filed.
In short, the data make it clear that employers have ample opportunity to express their views—and far too often go well beyond just education, crossing the line into illegal activity. What does Lucy do to Charlie Brown when he tries to kick the football?

In the strip from August 2, , Lucy keeps her promise not to pull the ball away that year, but Charlie Brown misses the ball and accidentally kicks her hand. Later, when he apologizes for the accident, the next frame shows her bandaged hand and her angrily telling him that next time he goes to the hospital, he should stay there. Charlie Brown is depicted as kicking the ball in the special, It's Magic, Charlie Brown , in which he becomes invisible.
However, that did not happen in the strip, so was not considered canonical by Schulz. In a strip from the summer of , when Charlie Brown meets Peggy Jean.
She offers to hold the football, but Charlie Brown, being too scared she will do what Lucy does, refuses to kick it. She then gets upset and leaves camp for that. However, when she returns, she does not make him kick the football. Almost all Peanuts fans agree, the cruelest example of the trick is in the TV special, It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown , in which Lucy pulls the football away during an actual game.
It is not the fact that Lucy pulls away the football that upsets them, but that Charlie Brown is blamed for missing it when it is clearly not his fault.
