Biden Administration Requests Ethics Rules Be Ignored for Union Bosses Appointed to Top Administration Positions

The Biden administration has been requesting that union bosses, after being appointed to top administration positions, be excluded from ethics rules that bar them from being lobbied by their former union.

Biden has relied heavily on labor union personnel to fill vacancies within his administration, which in turn helps drive policy in their favor, according to the report. Biden gave the unions a huge voice within the federal bureaucracy “at the cost of strictly adhering to his own stringent ethics standards,” the report showed.

Last week, the report showed, the White House waived some of those rules last week for Celeste Drake, who was tapped by Biden to lead the new Made in America Office. The report shows, “Drake was excused from ethics restrictions that would’ve barred her from communicating with her former employers, the AFL-CIO and Directors Guild of America.”

Samuel Bagenstos, who is the White House budget office’s top lawyer, wrote in a memo posted on a disclosure tab of the White House website, “the successful accomplishment of the mission of the newly created Made in America Office relies on extensive, open and collaborative communications … between OMB and non-governmental entities including labor organizations.”

More ethics rules were waived in March in the Office of Personnel Management for Alethea Predeoux, the director of intergovernmental affairs. Predeoux reportedly was the top lobbyist for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). This is the union that represents hundreds-of-thousands of federal government workers. The report said, “absent a waiver, Biden’s ethics pledge would bar her from working on issues on which she lobbied.”
