Free choice remains for employees
In a victory for the process of “let the people decide”, Republicans stayed almost united and dashed union hopes for simply organizing by “card check.” Democrats could not achieve cloture by a 51-48 vote so S.1041 has been killed. But Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio (a union lackey if there ever was one – I oughta know) vowed to the AP that the bill would be brought back “year after year after year.”
In case you’re wondering, the one RINO in this case was Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. As expected, all four local Democrat Senators voted for cloture and played their part as union lackeys.
As I’ve stated before (Ok, I couldn’t find it in my archives. But someplace I’m sure I did!) I really have no issue with collective bargaining, but I think the card check to secret ballot process in place is relatively fair. Besides, if my memory serves me correctly, unions win their elections about 60% of the time. Just trying to game the rules a bit more so they can coerce more union dues. It’s the mother’s milk of their existence.
