The order, however, did not compel contractors to inform workers about their rights to join a union. On January 2, the court ruled that the Bush Administration had no authority under the National Labor Relations Act to issue the measure and permanently enjoined the Administration from enforcing it. </div> <div> The ruling is the second reversal by the courts of an executive order issued by President Bush that is detrimental to workers. Last year, the courts threw out Bush's order barring project labor agreements that set terms and conditions of employment on federally funded construction projects and ensure the orderly resolution of labor disputes. Project labor agreements have worked effectively to prevent strikes and lockouts, benefiting construction companies and employees alike since the 1940's.</div> <div> These two measures were among four executive orders issued all at one time within a month of President Bush taking office. The orders were sought by Bush's corporate contributors and right-wing ideologues, and were an early salvo in a continuing campaign of over-reaching initiatives that have undermined workers' rights. </div> <div>                                                </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <div> ORGANIZE! </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
