AFL-CIO Weblog | Bush Makes Backdoor Appointment to Wage and Hour Office  


Mike Hall:
Preside Bush this afternoon made another backdoor appointment to his administration. He used a recess appointment to install a lawyer who represented Wal-Mart with a long record of urging restrictions to the Fair Labor Standard Act's (FLSA's) overtime pay and other provisions to head up the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division.
Happy Freakin' Labor Day! (Part 2!)

I was going to point out that this seems to be the fox guarding the henhouse, but I see the AFL-CIO here has used that attribute before on another recess appointment.

Such joyful news on Labor Day!
