Craig Becker, Barack Obama’s nominee for Labor Relations Board is openly hostile to the democratic process, believes we should be coerced into being members of Unions, which are merely a front to his Socialist agenda. As a member of SEIU, founded by Socialist Andy Stern (SEIU Associate General Counsel Craig Becker), his connections to the Obama Progressive Slave Machine are open to anyone who googles “Craig Becker Socialist”or “Craig Becker SEIU”
From BigGovernment:
The NLRB has two primary functions: one, to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices, whether committed by labor organizations or employers, and; two, to establish whether or not certain groups of employees desire labor organization representation for collective-bargaining purposes, and if so, which union.
Becker will be the third person on the five person Board and the second Democrat thus giving them majority on the Board. To say that Becker’s views are “extreme” would be an insult. His views of employer-employee relations invites thoughts of hammers and sickles.
Here is an article about his loyalty to Fascist Alinksy and the poster children of Alinskyism- Acorn:

As the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Associate General Counsel, Becker has regularly advocated for inappropriate use of the NLRB’s power. In an instant of uncensored honesty, Mr. Becker wrote that employers should be barred from NLRB proceedings:
“On these latter issues employers should have no right to be heard in either a representation case or an unfair labor practice case, even though Board rulings might indirectly affect their duty to bargain.”
In Becker’s opinion, business owners, many of whom are small business owners that collectively employee 50 million Americans, have “no legally cognizable interest” in one of the most significant decisions impacting the potential future success of their company. But Becker takes his views one step further and would even deny employers the ability to alert authorities to illegal union activity during an election campaign saying:
“Similarly, employers should have no right to raise questions concerning voter eligibility or campaign conduct. Because employers have no right to vote, they cast no ballots the significance of which can be diluted by the inclusion of ineligible employees. … Because employers lack the formal status either of candidates vying to represent employees or voters, they should not be entitled to charge that unions disobeyed the rules governing voter eligibility or campaign conduct. On the questions of unit determination, voter eligibility, and campaign conduct, only the employee constituency and their potential union representatives should be heard.”
To suggest that employers should have no role in the unionization process, as Mr. Becker does, is a point of view that is outside of the mainstream and one that puts him at odds with the current practices of the NLRB.
Just as Mr. Becker views employers as obstacles to increased unionization, he similarly views workers ability to democratically choose union representation as problematic:
“Just as U.S. Citizens cannot opt against having a congressman, workers should not be able to choose against having a union as their monopoly-bargaining agent.”
The Leftists illegally allowed a now-defunct Senator (Kirk of MA) to cast a vote to get Craig Becker’s nomination out of the committee:
6. February 2010 by admin.
The Democrats get their crooked, sold-out union thug passed out of committee before Scott Brown got sworn in, anyway.
In a 13-10 vote along party lines, the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee approved the nomination Thursday of Craig Becker to join the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), paving the way for a full Senate vote on the controversial nominee in the coming weeks.
But two Republicans on the committee – ranking member Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Ark.) – reversed an earlier vote in October in favor of Becker when his nomination passed out of committee on a 15 to 8 vote.

Craig Becker Labor Relations Board hearing
Here is the committee hearing Becker squeaked through:
Craig Becker could not be sworn to serve as he stands against all the basic tenets of democracy and the US Constitution. A vote for Craig Becker is an open declaration of your illegal Socialist position, grounds for impeachment, in this writer’s opinion.
