Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation (NRWF) - a charitable organization that provides free legal assistance to employees nationwide - condemned the rule changes. 
“The NLRB’s new rules are just the latest example of the Obama Labor Board’s biased approach to administering labor law,” he said
