"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.]

Yet today, Senator Harkin stated at Becker's hearing that...

“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."

So, either EFCA can be rammed down Americans' throats accomplished can be done through administrative action, or it cannot.
Which one is it?

Which one is going to step forward?

As Big Labor's nominee to the National Labor Relations Board, Craig Becker, has his Senate hearing this week, Stewart Acuff, the AFL-CIO's main point person in pushing the delusionally-dubbed (and recently doomed) Employee Free FORCED Choice Act shared the Big Labor backdoor strategy on Huffington Post.

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 to once again allow workers in America access to one of the most basic freedoms in a democracy--the freedom of speech and assembly and association so that workers can build the collective power to challenge the Financial Elite and Get America Back to Work. [Emphasis added.]

As we noted yesterday, the leopard (Becker) isn't likely to be changing its spots--despite what he tells the senators in Washington.

This is also why the Communications Workers of America is pushing to get Craig Becker confirmed at the NLRB before Scott Brown gets seated in the Senate.
