(CENTENNIAL) – U.S. Senate candidate Jane Norton today issued the following statement in anticipation of the Senate’s scheduled Monday cloture vote on Craig Becker, President Barack Obama’s nominee for the National Labor Relations Board:
“Senator Michael Bennet has been in office for more than a year now, and not once has he told Colorado voters where he stands on card check legislation. President Obama is now seeking to circumvent the legislative process by pushing through a union insider who would undo decades of progress in labor relations.”
Becker, who works as a lawyer for the AFL-CIO, previously published an opinion stating that union-election rules, such as those addressed by card check, should be rewritten by the National Labor Relations Board to favor labor, without the consent of Congress.
“There is no question that a vote for Becker is a vote for card check,” continued Norton. “At a time when it’s absolutely vital that Congress turn its attention to the economy and jobs, the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats are once again bowing to union special interests. The Senate needs to end this sideshow with a ‘no’ vote and start listening to Americans.”
