Statement by AFL-CIO President John Sweeney on Wilma Liebman Appointment as NLRB Chair
January 26, 2009

America’s working men and women will finally have the fair and committed leader they deserve with Wilma Liebman as chair of the National Labor Relations Board.  What a refreshing change it will be to have a labor board that aims to safeguard rather than blockade workers’ rights.    Liebman will work to help the NLRB serve one of its key missions -- to undergird all workers’ right to collective bargaining as a cornerstone of our economy and democracy.  Liebman has a long record of dedication to the Board’s work; when she finishes her current term, Liebman will be the third-longest serving Board member. President Obama made the right pick for this crucial appointment.
