Wilson Statement on the Supreme Court's NLRB Decision

(Washington, DC) – Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), Member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in NLRB v. Noel Canning that President Obama's "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012 were unconstitutional. At that time the Senate was not in "recess," but in a "pro forma" session.

"President Obama has sadly abused the Constitution while ignoring Congress to achieve his big government agenda. His unconstitutional appointments to the National Labor Relations Board have made job-destroying decisions resulting in unfairness for our nation's workers. Today's ruling is great news for right-to-work states like South Carolina, who have been restricted and overregulated by the Administration's ‘Big Labor Bully.' Workers must have the right to make their own decisions and employers must determine what best practices serve their employees."
