Anyone who accepts the nomination or recess appointment of a President to serve as a Member or General Counsel of the NLRB should do so without expecting a future, permanent staff position and retirement benefits paid for by U.S. taxpayers a/k/a fellow citizens. When a term ends, leave. Burrowing-in is outrageous. Moreover, for an adjudicator/Board Member to be deciding cases already knowing that he/she has a future job with the General Counsel once his/her term or appointment ends is shocking. How can the adjudicator ethically participate in deciding a case where his/her future employer is a party to the very case the adjudicator is deciding. Burrowing-in has gone on from time to time with people of both party persuasions and they reside within their little burrows today. How does this happen? PURE ROTTEN POLITICS. It must stop now! Those individuals who burrowed-in should have the decency to quit. If they qualify for their current jobs, let them apply and be considered like anyone else. Having been a Presidential Appointee must not skew the presumed fair and objective process of filling vacancies for government jobs. Moreover, senior career officials at the NLRB should be mindful of their obligation to serve the public a/k/a fellow citizens, not pull strings for their personal favorites to further enhance and make permanent their raw power of IOUs. Yes, the NLRB needs to be flushed and scrubbed clean.
