After eight long years of minimally enforced labor law, it's very gratifying to say that we finally have a friend as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.
Wilma Liebman has long been a friend of labor. She worked as both a staff attorney for the Bricklayers and the Teamsters. She was initially appointed to the NLRB by Clinton in 1997. She has since risen through the ranks and as of January she was appointed by President Barack Obama as Chairman.
At the Southern Maine Labor Council's Labor Day Breakfast Wilma spoke in favor of labor law reform. She argued that the NLRA, the current legislation governing unions, needs to be updated.
Later at the Western Maine Labor Council Barbecue she urged the audience to "remain hopeful" and to continue "the fight for economic justice." Her position is a credit to her dedication to a fair and just administration of labor law.
