and basically a complete disdain for independent minded workers who would like to avoid unionization. it is going to be a really interesting time. i think that the president is trying to give unions card check forced unionism legislation would actually passing it through congress. megyn: get specific. what exactly it is that s so controversial. obviously he s pro-union that s not a surprise. who else would you expect president obama to nominate or put on the nlrb what specifically it is about craig becker that has people concerned? i this if you look at his writings going back to 1998 and some stuff he wrote in 2005 he said workers should have no choice either by secret ballot election or card check whether or not they should be in a union. he thinks the only choice a worker should have is which union should they join. that s outrageous position this is first time megyn an acting union lawyer has gone from employment at a union right to the national relations board. his position on e
here is the challenge. number one she is paying the penny slot for a max pave $215 a max pay of $215,000. so how do you get $42 million when the middle east you can get is $215,000. what was this talk about a decimal point in the wrong point? those are challenges. i hope she gets the money but it will be difficult. megyn: there have been cases where people win. the way they do it is they prove that s a bunch of baloney that the machine malfunctioned and isn t it up to the casino to prove or maybe the slot machine manufacturer that this really did malfunction. they will get a you are inive experts to come in. they will look at software and determine whether there was a
momentary lim the fire we re being told has been put out. we don t know the type of the plane but we do know that it was a private plane. we do have a number of commercial airlines that fly in and out of roanoke regional airport this was a small private plane that apparently had an emergency of unknown origin and it veered off as it was trying to land and crashed into that u.p.s. freight building. much more on this as it comes into the newsroom. megyn: all right trace gallagher thank you. well, small and big business alike, new concerns about president obama s pick for a key labor post. craig birkenau apointed to the national labor relations board. one of the president obama s recessed appointments he made last week while congress is out of session and here are a few of his key positions on things. becker thinks that employers should not be involved in any union elections. in other words, the unions can make their case but the employers must sit silent.
