Rep. John Kline (R-MN), Senior Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee, announced today that Education and Labor Committee Republicans will hold a forum this week entitled “A Culture of Favoritism: The Obama Administration’s Labor Agenda.”
After only one year in office, President Obama and his congressional allies have already amassed a track record of championing favored special interest allies. From rolling back union financial disclosure regulations to threatening to strip workers of their right to secret ballot unionizing elections, Washington Democrats have sought to reward political allies at the expense of working Americans. On the top issue of the day, health care, the Administration continues to show favoritism while the job market suffers under the weight of uncertainty.
Republicans on the Education and Labor Committee will examine the effect the Obama Administration’s labor agenda is having on the current labor market and the rights of employees and consider possible strategies to help rebuild the American economy.
