John - I want to give enthusiastic support for Harley Shaiken to be Secretary of Labor.

I have worked with Harley through the years and believe he is the best possible human being President Obama could get for this important position.

He would have the respect and confidence of Labor, Business, and Congress. He also has the ability to fashion a win-win outcome between labor and business on the Employee Free Choice Act.

Thank you for reading this - I am happy to follow up with any needed information on Harley.

Dick Gephardt.
