The Wall Street Journal reported that 'Terence Flynn, a Republican who has served on the five-member board since Jan. 9, after a recess appointment by President Barack Obama, submitted his resignation letter to the president and to NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce on Friday evening, the NLRB said. The brief letter, dated May 25, didn't bring up the allegations.'
A member of the National Labor Relations Board who faces allegations of leaking information about pending board decisions to a former adviser to Mitt Romney, is stepping down, the NLRB said Sunday.
Earlier this month, the NLRB’s inspector general alleged in a report that Mr. Flynn released proprietary information to former board member Peter Schaumber, who had been an adviser to Mr. Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. The report was made public by Rep. George Miller of California, the top Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee. Mr. Miller, along with Sen. Tom Harkin (D., Iowa) had called for Mr. Flynn’s resignation.
