and the NLRB Nominees are

The Detroit Free Press announced that President Obama has nominated two Democratic union advocates to 5-year terms on the National Labor Relations Board. And the NLRB nominees are: Craig Becker and Mark Pearce.

Craig Becker is currently the Associate General Counsel to the SEIU and the AFL-CIO.

Mark Pearce is a founding partner of Buffalo, NY law firm, Creighton, Pearce, Johnsen & Giroux. They represent the union side of labor and law employment.

The board has five members and primarily acts as a quasi-judicial body in deciding cases on the basis of formal records in administrative proceedings. Board members are appointed by the President to 5-year terms, with Senate consent, the term of one Member expiring each year. There are 3 vacancies for Obama to fill.

The current Members are Chairman Wilma B. Liebman (designated by Obama to serve as Chairman on January 20, 2009, her 3rd term that expires on August 27, 2011) and Peter Carey Schaumber (former Chairman, his 2nd term that expires on August 27, 2010).

Never a dull minute in Congress, Senate your move...
