Senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb Targeted By Hypocrital Union on Card Check

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 by Admin

A new mailer hitting Virginia mailboxes asks residents to contact Sen. Jim Webb and Sen. Mark Warner to support the Employee Free Choice Act. In short, the mailer pleads, “We need a new law to make sure workers have a voice in the workplace.” Leave aside for a moment the fact that the statement is incorrect or, at the very least, highly arguable. Focus, instead, on the group making this plea.

The Service Employees International Union is to be thanked for the pretty direct mail piece. Its motto for this purpose is “Change That Works.” “Works” would be news to the 75 staffers the union bagged due to financial problems.

And what of SEIU’s basic point about needing “card check” sign-up for joining a union instead of the current elections process (which actually protects employees, rather than harming them)? Well, Workforce Management is reminding readers that “The Service Employees International Union is being accused of refusing to allow members to use the card-check process to defect to a rival union.”

And, of course, there’s SEIU’s hypocrisy on EFCA’s binding arbitration provision.

Senators Webb and Warner would be better served listening to their real constituents, not a hypocritical, self-interested money machine.
