Card Check, From The Mouths Of Babes

Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by Admin

Well, perhaps not babes, but certainly college students. Two of them write in Pomona’s college paper that the food staffs working at the institution are looking to unionize. No problem there, right, it’s a free country.

Where the issue becomes a bit absurd is the nature of the students’ argument, captured rather well in their headline: “Card-Check Is Still The Best Path To Labor Peace.” The pair seem to be worried that some sort of food fight, if you will permit the pun, will break out and starve the school of its sanctuary status.

Instead, they want card check — as do all student activists who have been put up to their protests by union bosses (see here for one great example). So what they really want is less voice for each individual worker as long as it means a greater voice for the union and NO voice for the employer.

Certainly this can’t be the lessens with which we hope to educate our nation’s college students.
