Dear Mr. Engel:
Secretary Herman has asked me to thank you for sending her copies of your letters to President Clinton and Teamster Joint Council 7.
We understand your concern over the impact which funding problems may have on the NLRB's enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act. As you may know, the Secretary has long supported the rights of workers to organize into unions of their choice for the purpose of negotiating their terms and conditions of employment. You can be assured that the preservation of those rights will always be very important to us.
Sincerely,
Chatles A. Richards
Deputy Assistant Secretary
Working for America's Workforce
