Will HuffPo Readers Listen to Card Check Criticism?

Friday, December 4th, 2009 by Admin

We doubt it. But props to Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Electronics Association, for trying when he argues that if the president is serious about creating jobs, then the last thing he should be considering is the Employee Free Choice Act:

Take “Card Check” off the table. Entrepreneurial companies are less likely to hire people if they face a secret unionization movement. Unions are looking backward – rather than focusing on creating next-generation jobs. They are seeking to swell their ranks through anti-democratic and bureaucratic maneuvering. Union membership is falling because workers in an innovation economy need the flexibility to adapt their jobs to address market demands. Unions kill innovation.

Wow. Them’s are fightin words for union officials, but he’s correct about the job-killing nature of the bill and the nature of special-interest lobbying by Big Labor.

We can’t wait to see how Huffington Post readers will react.

Game on!
