Columbus Dispatch Editorializes Against Employee Free Choice Act

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 by Admin

Yet another recent editorial against the Employee Free Choice Act comes from the Columbus Dispatch:

The Democratic-controlled House is expected to approve the measure, but Senate Democrats need at least one Republican to reach 60 votes, the number needed to overcome an expected GOP filibuster this summer. Democrats weren’t surprised by Ohio GOP Sen. George V. Voinovich’s comments on Tuesday against the bill, but they were surprised that Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who sometimes votes with labor, also opposes the measure.

If Senate Republicans hold firm, they’ll do President Barack Obama a favor, although he is unlikely to admit that publicly.

Obama’s economic advisers are struggling to find ways to rev up the economy; the last thing they need is a federal law making workplaces easier to unionize and reducing those businesses’ ability to compete in a global marketplace.
