Card Check Confusion Follows Specter Statement

Sunday, September 20th, 2009 by Admin

Many have been confused by Sen. Arlen Specter’s recent declaration that the Employee Free Choice Act had seen a compromise hammered out and that said compromise would be passed by the end of the year. Included in those “many” are his fellow Democratic Senators, according to Laura Vecsey:

With his strangely wild prediction about the controversial labor reform bill called the Employee Free Choice Act, the word is that Specter was so off-message that he even floored his own Senate and campaign staff.

Not only did Specter tell a large audience at the AFL-CIO convention in Pittsburgh that Senate negotiators had pounded out a labor reform bill that will please unions, Specter predicted that the Employee Free Choice Act would pass by the end of the year.

The aftermath has seen a rash of Democratic Senate colleagues cry foul on Specter’s assertion — the same Senate colleagues who will decide whether or not to acknowledge Specter’s seniority should he win re-election.
