John Stossel of ABC News sees right through Big Labor’s claim that the Card Check Scam Bill is about giving workers a choice:
Choice is good. As a libertarian, I’m all over choice. But strangely, today, liberals are mostly about what Americans should not be allowed to choose.
AFL-CIO boss John Sweeney says, “[O]ur top priority is passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation that will restore workers’ freedom to bargain for a better life”.
