The House Education and Workforce Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on President Obama’s controversial recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. Committee Chair Rep. John Kline (R-MN) seeks to gather more information on how the Obama Administration determined the recent appointments were legitimate, especially since they were made when the U.S. Senate was convening in pro-forma sessions.
WHAT: “The NLRB Recess Appointments: Implications for America’s Workers and Employers.”
WHO: House Education and Workforce Committee
WHEN: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:00am
WHERE: U.S. House of Representatives Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2175
“In his State of the Union address, the president pledged to do everything he can to help businesses succeed,” said Chairman Kline in a statement. “Yet he has stood by while an activist NLRB wreaks havoc on the rights of workers and employers.”
“In fact, the controversial recess appointments to the board are the president’s stamp of approval on the board’s job destroying agenda, and every future action by the board will be tainted by the questions surrounding their legal authority,” added the Chair. “The committee has a responsibility to closely examine the consequences of the president’s actions.”
