Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels got his wish — the state Right to Work bill has been shelved, thanks in part to his unwillingness to stand on principle. Daniels, who called the bill divisive, worked behind the scenes to see the bill killed. Despite his efforts to curry favor with Big Labor, the state’s Democrat’s also fled the state to avoid a vote on the issue. Now Democrats are demanding that 11 other bills be shelved before they come back to work.
Now Governor Daniels says “we won’t be bullied!” Oh really……
California’s Big Labor-concocted A.B.5, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019, made it almost impossible for workers and firms to bounce back after 2020’s COVID-19 lockdowns. Now Biden bureaucrats want to federalize A.B.5!
Mr. Fain undoubtedly knows full well that there is a complete disconnect between the UAW hierarchy and the UAW rank-and-file on the Biden presidency and whether workers will benefit from its extension for another four years.
Political pundits of every stripe have noted, and attempted to explain, a dramatic shift in recent years in the coalitions that back America’s two major political parties.
