5:55Now Playingwww.democracynow.org - The National Labor Relations Board -- the government body that oversees labor complaints -- is on the verge of being shut down. Under a U.S. Supreme Court ruling from last year, the NLRB must have a quorum of at least three of five members in order to operate. But one member's term expires at month's end, and meanwhile, Republicans have refused to confirm President Obama's two replacement nominees. Unless a solution is found, the NLRB would be frozen come January. Without the NLRB, workers would lose their legal recourse to defend their right to organize and to protect themselves against anti-union activity by employers. Democracy Now! speaks with Stanford Law School Professor William Gould, former chair of the NLRB.
