Republican on National Labor Relations Board Resigns Amid Reports of Leaking Info to Romney Campaign

[bigtree]

. . .this is how sincere republicans are about labor relations. it's just a cynical game for them to have a seat on a board dedicated to resolving labor disputes.

A member of the National Labor Relations Board has resigned amid allegations he leaked information about the agency to a former Mitt Romney campaign advisor, according to a report.

Terence Flynn — a Republican appointed by President Barack Obama in January to the board — submitted his resignation letter on May 26, Reuters reported on Sunday. NLRB inspector general reports this year accused Flynn of revealing non-public information about the board while he served as its top lawyer, and found that he allegedly leaked draft reports and memos to former Romney campaign advisor Peter Schaumber.

Earlier this month, a number of Democratic lawmakers called for Flynn to resign after the inspector general report was released. The report alleged that Flynn leaked information to Schaumber, a former board member who once advised Romney on labor issues, for a year beginning in October 2010.

“I have determined to move on to other things,” Flynn wrote, according to Reuters.
