What Senator Specter's Switch Means for Card Check
The good news about Arlen Specter’s party switch is that he says his opposition to the Employee “Forced” Choice Act will not change.
The bad news is now that he’s joined the Democratic Caucus, there’s no doubt that the
union pressure to
change his mind will sky-rocket.
On top of that, it’s looking like Al Franken – another supporter of this disastrous bill – will soon be Senator Al Franken.
This means that the Democrats will have reached a 60-seat majority, which could overcome an expected filibuster of the Employee “Forced” Choice Act.
Now, more than ever, we need to double our efforts on our Save American Jobs Project and ensure that there is “Freedom Not Fear” in the workforce.
As we discuss the devastating effects of this legislation with voters around the country, we find an overwhelming majority agree with our position that this is one of the biggest power grabs by union bosses ever.
To deny workers a secret ballot when it comes to joining a union, and imposing mandatory government-controlled binding arbitration, is not a solution for our economy.
