Card Check Going Down-Ballot In Virginia
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 by adminIt’s not just Virginia’s gubernatorial race that is considering key issues related to workplace flexibility — now card check and the state’s right-to-work law are making their presence a key fight in the race for attorney general.
The News-Virginian points out the positions of Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Democrat Steve Shannon:
Cuccinelli said Shannon is focusing on one part of the job. Cuccinelli fully expects constitutional challenges if elected, including the threat of federal card-check legislation to Virginia’s right-to-work law.
Critics charge that the card-check bill could end secret ballots in union elections — a provision that could be scrapped — and would tilt collective bargaining unreasonably in unions’ favor.
Cuccinelli is prepared to enforce the Tenth Amendment’s state sovereignty provision to protect the right-to-work law.
When economic times get tough, these laws are especially worthy of public focus. Workplace flexibility helps keeps employers employeing, and employees employed.
