BREAKING: Obama Pays Back SEIU & AFL-CIO Bosses, Makes Unilateral Recess Appointment of Craig Becker

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 27th at 05:57 PM  | 

As we’ve been forewarning for nearly a week, demonstrating his penchant for appeasing union allies, President Obama made a recess appointment earlier this afternoon of SEIU insider attorney Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  February 10th at 12:15 AM  | 

As the smoke clears on the bi-partisan blockage of SEIU-radical attorney Craig Becker to a seat on the “independent” National Labor Relations Board, an e-mail sent from a SEIU staffer to Senators on February 3rd is worthy of closer examination as it reveals just how much control the purple behemoth of a union has over the Democrats in Washington.

Will Unions’ Billion Dollars Buy Exemption from Obama’s Crackdown on Lobbyists?

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  November 27th at 11:20 PM  |

The Washington Post says it’s the case. Hundreds, if not thousands, of lobbyists are likely to be ejected from federal advisory panels as part of a little-noticed initiative by the Obama administration to curb K Street’s influence | Read More »

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 19th at 12:25 PM  |
