The $35 Billion Reasons Big Labor Wants Card Check

Katie Packer from the Workplace Fairness Institute writes:

Labor unions themselves concede the passage of EFCA would generate millions of new members with the head of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) projecting 1.5 million new dues-paying union members every year for at least 10 years. If you assume that union members pay, on average, $425 per year in dues, the numbers are staggering: Passage of EFCA would result in $35 billion over the next 10 years, headed straight for union coffers.

Ka-Ching!

Of course, that’s the “benefit” side. The cost comes in lower economic activity, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of jobs, and basic workplace rights. (What’s the opposite of “Ka-Ching”? “Ching-Ka!”?)
