Editorial: Employee Free Choice Act Is Still A Threat

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 by admin

The Birmingham News isn’t letting up on its watchful eye on the Employee Free Choice Act. The paper’s editors warn today that the bill isn’t dead and goes on to opine:

Big labor has made some mistakes in its frenzy to get politicians to support card check, and that may be what’s behind the renewed effort to get card check in front of Congress before adjournment. Labor targeted Arkansas U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln because Lincoln, a moderate Democrat, opposed card check. She defeated the labor candidate in the June 8 primary, and she’s not likely to be a friend to unions now if she wins in November.

With unions continuing to lose membership, they should be investigating what they’re doing wrong instead of trying to change the rules so drastically that they get an unfair advantage.
