STOP CARD CHECK
Stop the Confirmation of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board

Stymied in their efforts to get Congress to eliminate the secret ballot for union elections, the Obama Administration and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have teamed up with the big labor bosses to impose their will by executive fiat. The issue is whether workers will continue to be protected by casting a secret ballot on joining a union or whether the law will be changed to allow employees to check yes or no on a card handed them by a union organizer.
Obama has nominated Craig Becker, a top lawyer with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Becker says he believes the NLRB has the authority to change the laws governing union certification without the consent of Congress. Thanks to Senator McCain and others, the Becker nomination has been held up until now. On Thursday, the Senate Health Education and Labor Committee voted to recommend confirmation by a vote of 13-10. Reid thought he could ram through the nomination before newly elected Republican Scott Brown of Massachusetts was seated but he was foiled in that attempt when Brown took the oath of office on Thursday.
NOW THE REPUBLICANS CAN STOP BECKER BY VOTING AGAINST CLOTURE (ENDING DEBATE) ON MONDAY IF THEY HOLD TOGETHER OR GAIN THE SUPPORT OF DEMOCRATS WHO CLAIM TO BE AGAINST CARD CHECK
