Gingrich Calls for De-Funding Labor Board

HeadlineJan 06, 2012

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is hoping to revive his campaign following a fourth-place finish in Iowa. On Thursday, Gingrich criticized Obama’s recess appointments of three new members for the National Labor Relations Board in defiance of Republican opposition. Gingrich called for de-funding the board entirely.

Newt Gingrich: “The answer to an imperial president is a Congress which stands on its own rights. And the correct response to what the President just did will be for the Congress to zero out and refuse to fund the National Labor Relations Board.”
