Card Check Confusion
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 by AdminNo one seems to really know what’s going on with the Employee Free Choice Act right now. BusinessWeek, citing AFL-CIO president-in-waiting Richard Trumka, says “A Card Check Compromise by Year End” while The Hill runs with “AFL-CIO suggests a hedge on card-check.” Meanwhile, it’s mixed signals as we get “Employee Free Choice Act” battle renewed” from the Denver Post.
There is considerably less confusion over who opposes the bill, though. In Madison, Wisconsin, a group of businessmen have come out adamantly against EFCA. In California, the Governator has once again vetoed card check language in his state. And in Washington, D.C., leading Republican Senator Mitch McConnell says GOP won’t support EFCA.
