Reminder:  Craig Becker was the former Lead Legal Counsel for SEIU prior to Obama placing him on the NLRB.   Craig Becker did not pass Senate approval and was voted “NO” by both Democrats and Republicans.  President Obama use a recess appointment to override the Senate and placed him during the April (Spring 2010) congressional recess.
