It is the last day of April do you know where -- union -- is he or she could be a whole lot closer than -- think.

Today is the -- at the National Labor Relations Board so -- -- election rules go into effect the new rules make it easier for unions to organize and faster too.

Verizon Wireless CEO -- strangled.

Is very worried about the jobs fallout from all of this essentially dead we -- it's going to be able leader that.

In his is -- little -- ten days unions can be up and running in nonunion shops explain how works well.

As a matter of fact the way it works today is it is an extended period of time in which.

The company can respond.

To the unions.

Trying to organize.

By the way -- this this takes time the union has a lot of time years in fact to -- the employees up.

To convince employees that the union is what they should do it's a right thing for them.

And now according to these new rules there is as little as two weeks for the company to respond to what the union has has inculcated into the workforce.

It's all right now we're hearing about it -- workplace by workplace if it did not unionized shop where it's only partially unionized topic union guys have been very very busy.

Trying to -- strong -- their way.

And wait in there or what have you heard about.

Six that sort of what we're there.

Concentrating their efforts -- well -- I'll I'll tell you there hasn't done a lot of success in unionization over the course of the last many years.

And this is one of the last ditch efforts on the part of the union to try to slam these things even.

Before the I don't think that this is going to be much success at all -- fact of the matter is that.

Companies that are threatened by unions should be very well aware of that and should be responding to over time.

But this is this is one more.

Now that and I'll tell you a lot of them didn't even realize the uniqueness of this state are -- special it was.

And a lot of them were caught off guard when they -- union organizers.

Busy you you know when things in storage -- parking lots.

Trying to -- people -- now the question I have for you then who says a speedier process.

Is -- more union friendly process that he couldn't workers feel equally.

I don't know if intimidated is a word or at least cautious about signing on -- -- quickly let's.

Be careful here I think that that is what exactly happens is employees are intimidated.

-- -- the union strong arms them to sign cards to vote for the union that's exactly what happens.

Do you think that is what's gonna happen -- that this is much ado about -- sure -- but it but it is what has happened already.

You know this is just one more thing that the union.

Stirs people up over.

M and okay maybe you know maybe these union guys are out in the parking lot.

But companies know this I mean.

Good management is not asleep but the real.

Okay.

Well what's very very closely called it what a perfect time.
