From the WFI: Will Obama NLRB issue last minute job-killing decisions?

Barack Obama's two recess-appointed board members, Mark Pearce and Craig Becker, leave office today. What unfortunate surprises do they have in store for our nation's job creators?

From a Workforce Fairness Institute press release:

Will Obama Labor Board Issue Last Minute Job-Killing Decisions?
Washington, D.C. (December 31, 2011) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today released the following statement in anticipation that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is working overtime during the holiday season and in advance of labor radical Craig Becker's term ending to reach decisions on cases that will force more workers into unions and kill more jobs during one of the worst economic downturns in our nation’s history:

"In Board Member Brian Hayes' letter in November to Chairman John Kline he clearly expresses concern that fellow board members Craig Becker and Mark Pearce intend to publish decisions with respect to a 'number of significant cases pending before the Board' without allowing time for dissent. This means the assault against American workers and small businesses undertaken by the current roster of government bureaucrats at the National Labor Relations Board who were handpicked by Big Labor may not be over," said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "Days from now we will know if – for the first time in the regulatory agency's history – the NLRB has ‘breach[ed] the Board's internal operating rule' and issued job-killing decisions without allowing for dissent. If so, it will be another remarkable reminder how far President Obama has strayed from his message of changing Washington, D.C. and how little integrity his rhetoric on job creation really has."
