Employee Free Choice Act “advocates’ lies are killing Big Labor’s top priority”
This morning, the Washington, D.C. Examiner carried an article from Bret Jacobson of the firm Maverick Strategies. Pointing to recent news in which one major union misquoted the Wall Street Journal to twist the paper’s words and in which union officials rejected any proposals to protect secret ballots for working Americans, Jacobson argues:
EFCA proponents’ outright rejections of any compromise that would assure rights for employees, combined with their outright dishonesty, may be taken as a good sign by some that the bill is facing long odds.
At the same time, it should serve as a reminder of just how far outside the mainstream labor leaders have become and how desperate they are for a rent-seeking infusion of money and power. That desperation, having not yet reached its zenith, will only get worse.
Katherine Fullerton Gerould said, “It is a poor cause which has to be lied for regularly.” EFCA is a poor cause indeed, though it is not yet, sadly, a fully lost cause.
Jacobson also highlights a recent ad from the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, of which Associated Builders and Contractors is a member. Make sure you see the ad here.
