Union leader attacks Senate Democrats for NLRB concession in deal

The Hill reports:

The leader of the nation’s largest telecommunications union is threatening some Senate Democrats for siding with Republicans in a deal requiring President Obama to withdraw his nominations to the country's union protection watchdog. Larry Cohen, president of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), said Tuesday that the two members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Sharon Block and Richard Griffin Jr., are “definitely tossed under the bus” in a Senate deal that will allow five of Obama’s other nominees to receive up-or-down votes before the Senate.
