Former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., considered a top contender for Labor secretary in the Obama administration, said today he does not want the job. "I have other things to do," said Bonior, a member of President-elect Obama's economic transition team. "There are wonderful, qualified people who can fill [the job], but at this time in my life it's not me."
Bonior said he spoke with Obama transition chief John Podesta and recommended that American Rights at Work Executive Director Mary Beth Maxwell get the job. "She would be fabulous," he said. Bonior chairs the labor-advocacy group, which is pushing so-called card check legislation.
The group today announced a three-week ad campaign on cable TV networks aimed at building support for the bill, which would allow workers to unionize if a majority signed authorization cards. The ads are the opening salvo in what is shaping up to be an expensive fight between organized labor and business interests.

I can understand why David Bonior rejected the job and just recommend the other one for this. Is there any big commitment or any person reason? Thanks for sharing. iPhone App Development
