NLRB plan to share workers’ email, phone numbers under fire

The Hill reports:
A proposal by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to include workers' email addresses and phone numbers on voter lists for union elections could become the next flashpoint in the war between labor and business.

Originally proposed as part of the NLRB's union election rule in June last year, the provision was shelved when the labor board passed other portions of that rule in December. But opposition to sharing workers' contact information has begun to grow on Capitol Hill and among business groups over worries that the NLRB may bring the proposal back.
Would you want members of the Gambino Crime Family(i.e. "union delegates") contacting you via the NLRB? How about a union with this history?
