As we scan through all of the posts, comments and critiques surrounding The inconsistencies are over whether or not Craig Becker will can push to use his (possible) position on the NLRB to push for provisions contained in the all-but-dead Employee Free Choice Act.
On Tuesday, AFL-CIO front man Acuff blogged on Huffington Post that...
"It [sic]we aren't able to pass the Employee Free Choice Act, we will work with President Obama and Vice President Biden and their appointees to the National Labor Relations Board to change the rules governing forming a union through administrative action..." [Emphasis added.]
“As you are all aware, I’m a supporter of the Employee Free Choice Act, and I hope to see it passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. But I don’t have any illusions that those important changes can somehow be accomplished administratively, and neither does Craig Becker.
“He has clearly and consistently explained, on numerous occasions, that all three major reforms proposed in EFCA—card check, binding arbitration for first contracts, and treble backpay for illegally fired workers—cannot be accomplished without a change in the statute. And as we all know, statutes can only be amended by those of us elected to Congress, not Executive Branch appointees."
Senator?
Mr. Acuff?
Someone's not telling the truth here.
