Racing against the clock, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pushed through another Obama Big Labor nominee, Patricia Smith, before Senator-Elect Scott Brown becomes a Senator. Reid won this race, see the Senate votes here.

In addition, Reid is prepared to add radical SEIU & AFL-CIO lawyer, Craig Becker to the list of Obama nominees approved before Senator Brown arrives.

As the new U.S. Solicitor of Labor, President Obama’s nominee M. Patricia Smith will control the largest civilian pool of government lawyers after the Justice Department.

Then New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer appointed Smith Commissioner of the New York State Department of Labor (NYDOL). Having spent her entire working life as a government employee, Smith brings only bureaucratic experience to the table.

As NYDOL Commissioner, Smith used her position and federal funds to override a state hiring freeze to hire a politically connected union organizer as a state employee. (more…)

The Committee was forwarded an e-mail that, in part, read:

We have just learned from our contacts in Washington that the HELP committee [U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions] has postponed other scheduled business and will conduct a hearing on the [Craig] Becker [National Labor Relations Board] nomination next Tuesday at 4 p.m.

The National Right To Work Committee President Mark Mix discussed the Big Labor commuter shutdown that is hurting workers all across Philadelphia with Fox Business Channel’s Brian Sullivan. Mix pointed to the fact that many union members did not want to go on strike; this was a union kingpin decision, not one made by the rank and file. Click video image below to watch the interview.

Teamsters Could Strike — Against Themselves

Talk about embarrassing.  The unionized workers of the Teamsters’ Washington-based national staff are locked in a contract dispute with their own national organization and are threatening to strike against Boss Hoffa and company.

Incredibly, Hoffa is preparing to make contingency plans to operate in case of a strike. Do you think he will cross his own picket line? What happens if Boss Hoffa wants to meet with President Obama or Vice President Joe Biden?  What if federal officials are scheduled to meet with Teamsters officials?  This could get very confusing for the administration and the Teamsters…  Stay tuned.
