“How will ‘card check’ create and sustain jobs?”
It won’t, but that’s the very reasonable question from Rep. John Kline — readers of this blog will remember him well.
The setting for the question came at a House hearing at which Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis testified about her ongoing work. The Wall Street Journal had the Kline recap:
Meanwhile, Rep. John Kline (R., Minn.), the senior Republican on the House Education Committee, applauded the Obama administration for taking action to ease unemployment numbers, but criticized the controversial Employee Free Choice Act, which could make it easier for workers to join unions.
“I cannot help but question many of [the president's] proposed policies that seem to run contrary to the goal of job creation and economic certainty,” Mr. Kline said. He later added, “The question remains: how will ‘card check’ create and sustain jobs?”
Those who oppose EFCA have said the legislation could likely stump job growth, business activity and investments.
The truth, of course, is that EFCA will kill jobs and once again assault the free enterprise system. So long as jobs remain high on the administration’s agenda, EFCA should be at the bottom.
Come to think of it, EFCA should always be at the bottom of the agenda. That should simplify things nicely.
