Controversial pro-forced unionism lawyer Craig Becker, despite having violated the president’s own ethics rules, has been re-nominated by the president to the National Labor Relations Board.

Republicans should once again block his nomination but we have no doubt that the president will find some way to get him back on the board so he can to Big Labor’s bidding.

In many cases, employees who are denied the opportunity to vote out a union as a consequence of the Biden green light for Big Labor blocking charges never got a chance to vote on whether or not they wanted to have a union in the first place.
