Theme: Card Check and 2010

Monday, January 4th, 2010 by Admin

The meme continues: Will politicians try to force card check through in 2010? It’s something we’ll be hearing about until the issue is finally resolved. The latest to discuss it is Terence Scanlon, who writes in the Washington Times:

Unions don’t like losing unionization elections, so they want the U.S. government to accept the sign up cards that they use to call for an election instead. This would effectively replace the private ballot with the public clipboard and open up workers to intimidation and manipulation.

Card check was all but declared dead last year. Senate Democrats had the votes to end a filibuster, but there were enough moderate Democrats who didn’t want to go along with it. Where have we heard that one before?
