Labor board nominees call for more staffing and resources

A decline in staff and a growing backlog of cases have damaged the reputation of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, said lawmakers and nominees for two positions at the agency on Wednesday.

"Your nominations come at a critical juncture for the FLRA," Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Federal Workforce Subcommittee told Julia Clark, President Obama's choice to become the agency's general counsel, and Ernest DuBester, who has been tapped to become an authority member, at their joint confirmation hearing. "For far too long, however, the FLRA has failed to carry out its mission.... If confirmed, you can help rebuild strong partnerships between unions and management throughout the federal government, which I believe is necessary to help federal agencies fulfill their mission."

I can see a couple of those beers on that list that give me the shivers. Milwaukee's Best and Stegmier, oh yecch. Those must be the beers that the Greenies tout so highly. Rumor has it they are recycled. It's a real simple process too, just install the plumbing from the bathroom urinal back to the keg via a refrigeration unit. and you have the ultimate in beer efficiency. The taste changes not one little bit in the process either.:embarrest:
