Why am I not surprised? These ideological conservatives hate the NLRB so much that they would do anything to undermine the NLRB and destroy it from within.

The board’s inspector general said the member, Terence F. Flynn, violated ethics rules by sharing confidential details on the status of pending cases and the likely votes of other members before decisions were released. A report from Inspector General David P. Berry also faulted Mr. Flynn for a “lack of candor” during the investigation.

This is really despicable. I hope that President Obama would ask for Flynn’s resignation from the National Labor Relations Board.

The NLRB is actually doing what it is supposed to be doing. Imagine if all the agencies actually starting enforcing all their rules and regulations to the fullest.

Board chairwoman Wilma Liebman says the Republican critics are launching misguided effort to portray the board as radical. She sees an agency that is “reinvigorated” and finally back to enforcing labor laws after years of malaise.

“There are those people out there who would prefer that the board be dead or dying,” she told The Associated Press. “Now that it’s alive and sitting up in the hospital bed, they are upset about that. Some are even angry because they’d just as soon it stay dormant.”

Futhermore the rambilings of 47 Republican Senators and the US Chamber of Commerce mean absolutley nothing. They accuse the NLRB of being biased ha! What the hell are you all then? You’re not on the side of working Americans, never have and never will be.

“It’s just really not that remarkable what is going on over at the board,” Rhinehart said. “This is an agency that was set up to protect workers’ rights to organize and to have a union. To the extent this board’s initiatives advance that right, we support them.”
