As the SEIU\u2019s in-house lawyer, Becker litigated against Right to Work Foundation clients and developed legal strategies for SEIU local affiliates across the country. His published writings also indicate a strong level of hostility to the Foundation\u2019s employee-oriented legal aid program.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFoundation attorneys asked Becker to step aside from any case  involving Foundation-assisted workers, the SEIU, or its subordinate  affiliates. Despite these apparent conflicts of interest, Becker has refused to recuse himself in every case but one.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOnly the Attorney General or his appropriate designee has the authority under the Executive Order to investigate any violations of the Obama Administration ethics pledge, which Becker signed.  The pledge explicitly forbids any appointee from involving themselves with a former employer for no less than two years.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"\/en\/press\/2010\/08\/worker-advocate-asks-attorney-genera\">Click here to read the full release<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/newsrelease.png\" style=\"padding-left: 60px\" alt=\"News Release\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"457\" height=\"48\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2010\/08\/worker-advocate-asks-attorney-genera\" title=\"Worker Advocate Asks Attorney General Holder to Investigate Apparent Violations of Obama Ethics Pledge by Labor Board Member\">Worker Advocate Asks Attorney General Holder to Investigate Apparent Violations of Obama Ethics Pledge by Labor Board Member<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic\">Craig Becker, Obama\u2019s recess NLRB appointee, has rejected requests to recuse  himself from pending cases involving his former employer<\/h3>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
