It would seem Romney's Labor Advisor, Peter Schaumber, knows little to nothing about labor.

National Labor Relations Board (click title to entry - thank you) Inspector General David Berry released a report late last week alleging that recently appointed board member Terence Flynn provided confidential information to two former NLRB members.

Following an investigation, Berry claimed that while Flynn served as a chief counsel to board member Brian Hayes, he leaked information to Peter Kirsanow and Peter Schaumber—both of whom were in private practice at the time—to be used for their private benefit. Berry claimed Flynn’s actions violated Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch; he also snubbed Berry for allegedly demonstrating a lack of candor during the investigation....



Why else would the Romney campaign need information no one else had in their campaign? Romney could come up with labor policy without insider information? It would seem to be the case. There is such a thing as saying, "No." It is ethical to turn down information one is not suppose to have by law. Unethical standards seems to be acceptable in the Romney campaign.
