Report: Anti-Trump Muslim Group Goes Anti-Union

One of the nation's most influential Muslim advocacy groups is resisting attempts to unionize its staff, according to a report.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) pushed back against political powerhouse Service Employees International Union's organizing overtures, according to Sean Higgins of theWashington Examiner. The advocacy group argued that it should be exempt from federal labor laws governing union organizing because it is a religious institution.

That argument was rejected by a regional director at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the top federal labor arbiter that oversees union campaigns.

"The evidence establishes that the employer is not an organization that exists to propagate a religious faith, but rather is engaged in a commercial-type activity," NLRB Regional Director Charles Posner said.
