"Executive Order 13522, aka "Creating Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery of Government Services." "RedState's Labor Union Report notes, "this EO was signed when the nation was distracted by the Obamacare debate".
"What the EO means, however, is that Obama 'has turned over a significant portion of the Executive Branch of the United States government to union bosses.'"
"This could be the most significant federal policy decision regarding federal labor-management relations since President Kennedy signed the first EO in 1962 granting representatial rights to federal employee unions."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 15, 2011
"WASHINGTON—President Obama's proposal, which for the first time would allow the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to set its own premiums..."
PBGC Director is Joshua Gotbaum who was named by Obama in November of 2008, "to oversee the new administration's takeover of the Treasury Department as it manages the still-evolving $700 billion financial rescue plan".
Gotbaum, 57, the son of the New York labor leader Victor Gotbaum, worked briefly in the Carter administration. Victor Gotbaum was an American labor leader from 1965 to 1987 who's first union job in the 50's was with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America [Chicago]. Victor G. later went on to become president of AFSCME District Council 37 (DC37), the largest municipal union in New York City." Once when Victor G. was asked why he backed a mob associate he said: "everyone knows that the presidency of the DC37 office is a meaningless office". One of a High salary and minimal duties.
(tracing the history of names/families still active in the unions is a fascinating one).
