I might be mistaken but I believe the NLRB only affects unionized workers or those wanting to unionize.

As for the IRFA concerning payments to performers, I think stations would seek lower rates for songwriters "because we also have to pay performers and that's just too much for us to bear when we have to pay both groups. After all, we also have ourselves and stockholders to pay."
