Wasn’t Card Check About The Workers?
Monday, August 24th, 2009 by adminWrong! It’s about many things … control, buckets of money union bosses expect to haul in, and — you guessed it — the political power that money can buy.

A more cynical blog would conclude that legislators who support EFCA are doing so for a political advantage. We, however, will simply conclude that some legislators have been genuinely misled about the bill’s attack on workplace democracy and the resulting loss of jobs.
But were EFCA to pass, ignorance would be no excuse for legislators having voted for it or any form of EFCA-lite. Just one more thing for the political calculus.
