Yesterday<\/a> in Roll Call<\/i>, Bret Jacobson noted the importance of today’s Senate hearings on President Obama’s nomination of Service Employee International Union General Counsel, Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.<\/p>\n

\n\tThus, we have today\u2019s hearing for Becker, a longtime strategist and lawyer for organized labor. If they can\u2019t get \u201ccard check\u201d through a broad, participatory legislative process, they\u2019ll push to grab a similar victory through the federal board\u2019s ability to regulate without approval of the people\u2019s Representatives.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs such, this hearing \u2014 demanded by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is troubled by Becker\u2019s blatantly anti-employer views \u2014 signals that we have officially hit plan B on the administration\u2019s strategy for pandering to the organized labor lobby. This new course will focus on the quiet job-killer of regulation and card check by fiat.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nBut the real problem isn’t that Becker is anti-employer<\/i> — it’s that his career as a diehard union boss apologist reveals an extreme hostility to the very employees<\/i> the union bosses claim to represent.\u00a0 Last October, National Right Work president Mark Mix took to the pages of the Washington Times<\/i> to make this very point<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tIn fact, as a former AFL-CIO and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) lawyer, Mr. Becker is solely responsible for forcing tens of thousands of workers under union boss control.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tIn one case, reports from a Los Angeles SEIU local union revealed that almost 63,000 people rejected membership in the union in 2007, but thanks to Mr. Becker, were still forced to pay dues.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Mr. Becker’s own words explain why. He was even so bold as to say unions were "formed to escape the evils of individualism and individual competition … their actions necessarily involve coercion<\/b>."\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWith that kind of anything-goes attitude, it’s no surprise Mr. Becker supports "home visits," in which union militants repeatedly harass workers at home until they sign union-authorization cards, and even advocates letting Mr. Obama’s handpicked arbiters impose contracts on workers, without even allowing the workers to vote on their own contract.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nContrast Craig Becker’s radical, pro-coercion views with the words of Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor: "No lasting gain has ever come from compulsion."<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
