Conservative group calls for probe of NLRB member

A free-market group on Wednesday called on the National Labor Relations Board’s inspector general to investigate one of the board’s members, arguing he leaked internal information about a major board case.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute said in a letter to NLRB Inspector General David Berry that Mark Gaston Pearce, a Democratic appointee to the board, leaked the news that the NLRB, the government’s main labor enforcement agency, would vacate its decision in the Hy-Brand corporate liability case the day before it was officially announced.
