The controversial Card Check Scam Bill is causing a “quandary” for Barack Obama, according to his hometown newspaper, the Chicago Tribune.
Calling the bill one of the “thorniest issues his administration will face,” Obama is being squeezed between his union benefactors and the business community “which also contributed heavily to his campaign and his party and will be crucial to his efforts to fix the crippled economy and overhaul the health-care system.”
Frankly we are suspicious. There are no overt signs that Obama is backing away from the union bosses. Barry Broad, a Teamsters’ lobbyist, said: “Unions spoke with a nearly unanimous voice: This is their No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 priority in the next administration.” Obama and his Pro-Big Labor team know it.
Thanks to the Committee's election-year program, union-label candidates like Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) are being given a choice: pledge to change course and support Right to Work going forward, or face the potential political consequences.
After union lawyers’ attempt to get the NLRB to block the vote failed, CWA union bosses backed down and departed AT&T workplace rather than face workers’ vote
Biden judicial nominee Nicole Berner has a track record of mindlessly repeating union bosses’ anti-Right to Work diatribes and defending their schemes to profit at the expense of the disabled.
