Foxx Statement on White House NLRB Appointments

Statement

Date: Jan. 5, 2012
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Chairwoman of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training, issued the following statement after the Obama administration decided to ignore Congress and recess appoint three new members to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

"It is disappointing that President Obama has forgotten his promise of transparency and decided to appoint three new members to the controversial, activist National Labor Relations Board without any input from the U.S. Senate," said Chairwoman Foxx. "This administration seems to be more interested in giving handouts to organized labor than in actual job creation and bipartisanship. These recess appointments will further call into question future NLRB decisions."
