Unacceptable

Its been a year and half since the voters of this country elected President Obama. Organized labor was a huge reason for Obama's election and he has unequivocally failed us. He promised to support the Employee Free Choice Act and hasn't. He promised to stop giving corporate subsidies to to business who violate employees rights, he hasn't. Maybe some of this is understandable, if not acceptable because of the economic crisis and his attempt to get consensus for health care reform. However, what is completely unacceptable is his failure to appoint new members to the National Labor Relations Board. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is the federal agency that regulates labor law. Right now the Board only has 2 sitting members and 3 are needed to hear cases. That means no cases are being heard and employers have been able to violate the law with even more abandon than normally. Unacceptable.
