Craig
Becker - NLRB Appointee
Becker
is associate general counsel at the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
As political payback, Obama nominated this anti-business activist to the National
Labor Relations Board (NLRB). As all of Obama's nominations, this one has political
motives.
Back in 1993, Becker wrote an article for the Minnesota Law Review
while he was, what else, a professor at UCLA. In the article, Becker stated that
he thought the labor laws should be written to favor the unions. He also thought
that this could be done by the NLRB without a vote from congress. In other words,
Becker thinks that it's okay to legislate from political bodies other than congress;
even though this is unconstitutional.
SEIU is known for having close ties to
the now disgraced group, ACORN. SEIU is also known for beating elderly people
and blacks at last summer's town hall meetings where voters expressed their anger
at their representatives. This was and is typical Chicago style politics mixed
with union thugs. The SEIU knows that if people aren't intimidated, they SEIU
would be out of business.
Becker denies ties with ACORN, but it's clear they
exist. ACORN is tied to the SEIU and Becker is the SEIU's attorney.
Updated
02/11/2010 The US senate rejected Obama's nominee, Craig
Becker. Democrats joined Republicans in the effort to keep Becker off of the NLRB.
After the democrats lost their super majority with the election of Republican
senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts, a few senate democrats grew a spine and
went against Obama's wishes. Obama threatened to go against
the senate's rejection by making appointments while the senate is in recess. Obama
is now losing democrat support after losing the independents and never having
the support of Republicans. November looms.
