Re: Employee Free Choice Act

I'm amazed that the Employee Free Choice Act is not on President Obama's desk
yet.

Do we have to see the unemployment rate hit 12% or higher for it to even be
considered? Where is labor stimulus? Where is my bailout?

The US Congress is so full of themselves. They are absolute "do-nothings" for
American labor interests. They are pawns of corporations, pact money, and
American "royalty" (the filthy corporate rich).

Is the USA officially a corpocracy now?

The final vote in the US Senate was 51-48. 60 votes were needed to force consideration for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act (HR 800). No doubt this bill...

You left out the part where it says that signing cards would no longer be kept secret. IOW, someone who declines would be 'exposed'. (yuk yuk yuk)....
