An investigation of NLRB member Terence Flynn by the agency's Inspector General has generated calls for his resignation and for further investigation. The Inspector General looked into whether Flynn provided deliberative information to former Board members, now in private practice, and concluded: "The facts . . . provide a basis for finding that Mr. Flynn violated the provisions of the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch and that he lacked candor during the investigatory interview."

Rep. George Miller (D-CA), the senior Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee, wrote to the Attorney General asking him to "carefully consider" the information produced by the Inspector General. Rep. Miller's letter and a copy of the report can be found here.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has called on Flynn to resign. The Union's statement can be found here.
