Union Officials Head To White House To Push Employee Free Choice Act

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 by Admin

According to the New York Times’s top labor reporter, union officials are scheduled to have a fireside chat with the Administration in the White House next Monday — with “public option” health care and the Employee Free Choice Act topping the agenda.

Here’s one question: Can the White House really find success in throwing its weight behind a bill that’s bad for employees (who see diminished right to a private ballot), employers (who may have contracts foisted on them or be forced to pay into failing union pension funds), economics (depressed economic activity), and employees (again, because hundreds of thousands or millions of jobs will be lost).
