In an effort to repay some of its most valuable political allies, the Biden administration has been frantically hiring former employees of the country’s largest labor unions. This creates dangerous conflicts of interest, especially when these union partisans are responsible for holding union officials accountable. Particularly troubling is President Joe Biden’s appointment of Jennifer Abruzzo, a top lawyer for the Communications Workers of America, to be the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.

The NLRB handles disputes between workers and labor unions. As general counsel, Abruzzo would have unreviewable authority to prosecute, or not prosecute, charges brought by workers against the CWA and other unions.
