There is National Labor Relations Board news despite tonight Hurricane Irene's presence near Washington. From a Workforce Fairness Institute press release:
Washington, D.C. (August 27, 2011) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today issued the following statement in response to Wilma Liebman's departure from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the White House announcement that Mark Pearce is designated to become the regulatory agency's new chairman:
"With Chairman Liebman's term ending tonight at midnight, board members and their staffs are undoubtedly busy today finalizing decisions for issuance that will continue to undermine worker rights, hurt small businesses, augment the power of union bosses and cost our nation jobs," said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "Under Liebman's tenure as chairman, the NLRB has become an extension of Big Labor and we don't expect anything different from Mark Pearce."
BACKGROUND:
National Labor Relations Board Chairman Wilma B. Liebman, who has served on the Board for nearly 14 years and under three presidents, will leave the agency at the completion of her third term at midnight today, August 27.
