Senators Nervous About Specter

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) said that Republican Senators are “nervous” that Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) will flip-flop on the Card Check Forced-Unionism bill.

“We’re very nervous about some of the public statements he’s made,” Ensign told a group of conservative bloggers Wednesday, as reported by the American Spectator.

Specter had announced that he wouldn’t back EFCA (or “card check”) before having switched parties last month to pursue reelection as a Democrat. Since then, union officials have  lobbied Specter to get the critical votes to overcome a filibuster of the bill.

“We hope he honors not just the letter of his pledge, but the intent of the pledge,” Ensign told the bloggers.

Right to Work President Demands Tennessee Protect Employees, Not UAW Bosses' Unionization Schemes

No union, but especially not one with multiple top officials convicted in federal court of accepting bribes and embezzling workers’ dues money, should be allowed to impose unionization on workers by colluding with company officials to bypass a secret ballot vote. That’s why it is critical that any state incentive package includes a condition that the decision over whether to unionize the proposed Ford-SK Innovation Western Tennessee plant be made with workers having the full protection of a federally supervised secret ballot vote, and absent any backroom deal between company and UAW officials.
