New Biz-Friendly Group Advised To Oppose Card Check

Monday, May 11th, 2009 by admin

Sen. John Thune and Rep. Eric Canto today have a joint article in Politico, which describes how a new Democratic group called Business Forward can work with industry, and of course card check is a big issue:

Plain and simple, card check is a job killer. The Employee Free Choice Act, as it is deceptively named, would strip workers of the right to vote for union membership by private ballot, exposing them to coercion and intimidation. Just as bad, if a recently formed union doesn’t agree to a labor contract with an employer, a government arbitrator steps in to determine salaries, benefits and working conditions. Jobs aren’t created by government arbitrators or unions — they’re created by the small businesses and entrepreneurs who would be hardest hit by this law. Businesses understand that government should not stand in the way of their attempts to compete in the global marketplace.

Many thanks to Sen. Thune and Rep. Cantor for their leadership against this terrible bill.
