WFI Calls Out George Miller As A Hypocrite
Dave Berry, the NLRB’s inspector general, told The Hill his office is aware of the allegations that the labor board’s lone Republican member, Brian Hayes, might have been offered something of value to leave his position.

Last October, angered by Pearce’s and Becker’s expressed intention to abandon board processes and procedures to push through a final rule with insufficient deliberation and to deprive Hayes of the opportunity to write a dissent if he so chose, he threatened to resign.
