laws. The union may be automatically recognized but it can’t compel dues. That said, if they have the votes to pass EFCA, they have the votes to repeal the RTW provisions, and I beleive they will. It’s the only way they can eliminate the competitive disadvantage between the Blue and Red states.

As I said in some posts the other day. For a business effecting commerce, the federal labor law pre-empts state labor laws. So, this resolution scheme might be productive to put pressure on CongressCrittes, but the schemes to establish rights in state law are pointless.

have been running since just after the General Election.
Playing to the “we voted for hope and change” idea, the ads have individual ‘workers’ saying they “hope” for health care, or better pay, or even a job, “for a change”.
As if without union representation, they haven’t had any of these things before.
And to heck the fact that until very recently the economy was so good that there were excuses offered for all the illegals who were doing jobs Americans wouldn’t do?
Some jobs, construction in particular, paid pretty well, so I guess we get to see just another false presentation of selected ‘facts’ to sell a completely un American POS law.
Wonderful, just wonderful.

It’s been said that if McDonald’s said that because of increased costs of unionization due to card check, they’d have to eliminate the toys that come in every Happy Meal, card check would come to a screeching halt. I’d love to see this be said by McD’s.

the Dim’s and the One have a big problem on their hands. As with other special interest that make up the Dimocratic voting block, the union now has their hands out, along with the peaceniks on Gitmo/supposed turture, the gay’s on marriage, and so many others.

The problem is that in each case the “cause” for each group is a loser in the publics eye and the Dim’s know it. Now, they (Dim leaders) have no place to hide, because there is no boogie man (read Bush) to exuse them for not passing the wanted legislation from these various groups.

As conservatives, by voicing objection to all these crazy ideas, we will always be on the right (read popular public opinion) side of all of these issues.

I’d written this before, but it always helps to reinforce one’s steadfastness.

I work for a small company that handles electronic access and surveillance equipment installations, programming and service within several counties here in Florida.

By small company, I mean less than 30 employees. Two of the big contracts are with two county’s school districts. Of course, the school districts are fully unionized.

In my own way, I help protect little kids from bad people. That’s my job and I don’t do it for the money. I work mostly in elementary schools. I love to watch the laughter. One little kid smiling makes my year.

Here’s what I don’t like: I don’t like unions. I’m not of the ilk to have somebody tell me I have to pay them to have the privilege to work somewhere, let alone be compensated quite probably inferior overall to what I am worth in a sane work environment.

Here’s my answer on being approached by any union that wishes to organize the company where I work: “No thank you and I’d honestly have a high opinion of you and your union if you wouldn’t ask me again.”

See that? Polite, non-evasive and non-threatening,

If I am asked to reconsider, I shall without question, assure the union representative that I am not interested and again thank them for their time.

The first instance of anyone from a union or a faceless entity from a union remotely threatening me in any manner will be the last time and I shall be the one still standing. That’s a promise.

If they arrive at the door of my home, the game changes instantly. The Castle Doctrine Of The State Of Florida will come into play and shall be applied with full authority if need be.

Again, I don’t like unions.

Cheers !

I don’t think the Commerce Clause gives the Fed the right to manage labor. Labor is not commerce. Without this misinterpretation of the Constitution there is no way card check would pass Constitutional muster. The states are going to have to reassert their 10th Amendment rights or see their citizens trampled. The power of the Fed is quite clear AND limited. The power of the people and the states are unlimited in comparison.
