For a seemingly endless time we have been discussing the ways in which some politicians want to avoid the issue of card check (because their support for such an ill-conceived and unfair plan would be highly unpopular) while others are happy to bring it up (because their opposition matches the opinion of the vast majority of Americans).

The latest evidence comes from sunny Florida, where Senatorial candidate Marco Rubio discussed card check on Fox Business. Transcript here –

SULLIVAN: We have seen some victories. Health care obviously comes to mind. What do you think the unions want now? What is their big agenda? Is it maybe reinvigorating card check?

RUBIO: Oh, absolutely. I think that’s the Holy Grail of the labor unions, is card check, which would be devastating to America’s economy.

There’s already so much uncertainty surrounding America’s economic future. The job creators lack confidence in our future. They see all the rhetoric and the policies coming out of Washington are anti- entrepreneurial, anti free-enterprise. And so they’re not creating jobs.

He’s right … about so much, but in particular card check being the Holy Grail for union bosses. It’s important here to distinguish, as always, between union bosses who want card check and rank and file workers who don’t support the unfair plan.
