OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HIRED NATION’S TOP ANTI-LABOR LAW FIRM —

Lawsuit to Find Out How Much Union-Busting Firm Is Paid and From What Funds

Washington, DC — A federal agency has hired the nation’s top union-busting law firm but refuses to say for how much money or whether stimulus funds were used to pay the retainer, according to a summary judgment motion filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) in its lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act. Normally a labor union ally, the Obama administration is paying a firm specializing in what is euphemistically called “union avoidance” or “preventive labor relations.”
