The National Right to Work filed a lawsuit against the Obama Administration and the Department of Labor for severe "conflicts of interest"
The suit seeks disclosure of high-ranking DOL officials’ connections to powerful union lobbying interests. Conflicts of interest appear to exist with regard to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, who previously held a key leadership position at the Big Labor-front group “American Rights at Work,” and Deborah Greenfield, a DOL appointee who previously worked with the AFL-CIO to overturn the same union disclosure guidelines she now oversees.
The Foundation’s Freedom@Work blog has highlighted numerous other examples of union power brokers thrust into key roles overseeing organized labor – an apparent violation of the White House’s supposedly stringent new ethics policy.
