This week, President Obama named<\/a> Wilma Liebman chair of the National Labor Relations Board, the quasi-judicial body which administers the National Labor Relations Act. A former union lawyer, Liebman has used her seat on the Board to do Big Labor’s bidding and trample upon employee freedom.<\/p>\n

\nIn a statement, Liebman said\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI am honored by President Obama’s designation to serve as Chairman, and I look forward to continuing my service on the Board with my colleague, Peter Schaumber, and ultimately with a full complement of Board Members.<\/p>\n

\n\tI wish to thank Member Schaumber for his own outstanding service as Chairman. His leadership and collegiality, coupled with the efforts of dedicated agency staff, have enabled the Board to operate productively this past year.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Board’s work matters, just as it did when the National Labor Relations Act was passed in 1935. Democracy in the workplace is still basic to a democratic society, and collective bargaining is still basic to a fair economy. The statute we administer is the foundation of America’s commitment to human rights recognized around the world.<\/b>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nEmphsis mine.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs for "the statute [the Board members] administer," Liebman appears to have forfeited her objectivity by urging Congress to amend that law by passing the woefully misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (a.ka. the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill). As we asked<\/a> earlier this month, how can an employee trust Liebman to impartially administer the NLRA when she is also working to amend it to effectively eliminate the secret ballot in workplace unionization drives?\n<\/p>\n

\nMoreover, Liebman’s so-called "committment to human rights" does not appear to include any conception of individual freedom. In fact, she has shown an ugly disdain for individual rights, writing<\/a> in one "academic" journal:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t[A]n exclusive orientation toward an individual-rights regime could
\n\thave troubling political and social consequences.Workers may view the
\n\temployment relationship in purely individual terms and may fail to
\n\tgrasp common economic interests and the potential of collective action
\n\tat work, as well as in the public sphere. Collective action at work
\n\tencourages engagement in the community and in politics. Without a
\n\tfunctioning collective bargaining system, fundamental economic issues
\n\tare placed off the table: distribution of wealth, control, and
\n\tdirection of economic enterprises. What institution will be as
\n\teffective in efforts to minimize the randomness of fortune of
\n\tdemocratic capitalism? And without a strong independent trade union
\n\tmovement, what institution will stand effectively as a counterweight in
\n\tour democracy to the growing political influence of corporations? What
\n\tinstitution will speak for working people\u2014indeed for the middle
\n\tclass\u2014as effectively?<\/i>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThe truth is that Wilma Liebman thinks she knows more about what is in a worker’s best interest than the individual worker does.\u00a0 That’s why she feels is it good public policy to force as many workers into union collectives as possible.\u00a0 As far as she is concerned, individual free choice is irrelevant.\n<\/p>\n

\nFoundation attorneys look forward to getting her Board’s rulings slammed down by the federal appellate courts.\n<\/p>\n
