A NLRB Storm for Employers

by Bill Miller

As of Monday night, the Senate was still scheduled to hold a 5 p.m. vote today on a judicial nomination, followed by a cloture vote on the nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). But Senate aides and leaders, too, are watching the storm, and not just the snow. Becker's first nomination was placed on hold due to concerns over his extreme positions, especially anti-employer views. And the second nomination barley passed out of committee thanks to a groundswell of opposition given his extreme record.

We need your help right now to stop this nomination. Click here to email your U.S. Senators.  Tell them that in today's economy, we need a renewed focus on jobs and economic growth -- this nomination is a direct threat to both. As a member of the NLRB, Craig Becker could enact provisions of the Employee Free Choice Act without Congressional approval -- which is why his nomination has become Big Labor's top priority. We need you now to kill this latest special interest pay-off.  Email or call your Senators today.
